bactrim side effects, itching and allergic reactionsBy Roy from Sacramento, California on May 20, 2007 Category: Bactrim DS (Oral) After taking bactrim for 10 days without any side effects, I started having intense itching at my hands and feet, the day after I finished the medication. The bactrim was prescribed for a suspected bronchial infection, which was developing after a 2 week period of sickness, with flu-like symptoms. The intensity has decreased, but has not subsided completely. The itching is actually painfull and I can only use benydryl, cortisone cream and aveeno oatmeal baths to curb the discomfort. It has been 8 days since the itching began and I need to know how long the reaction might last. This has obviously proven that I am allergic to sulfa-based medications. I have had no other reactions to any medications up to now. Any information to stop the discomfort or estimates about the length of this reaction would be greatly appreciated. |
