I took Bactrim for a urinary tract infection. After I had taken ...

I started on a 6-day steroid and 14-day bactrim treatment for ear infection. After a week (when the steroid treatment was over) I began to have chills and high fever: my body would start shaking (felt like all my muscles were vibrating) and the fever would start rising; once at about 101.5 - 102F the shaking would go away and I would feel for short periods of time that my skin is burning hot. I was advised by my doctor to complete the 14-day treatment but take ibuprophen regulary to keep the fever down. I haven't finished the treatment yet but I am looking forward to it because I am exhausted by the recurring fever and sleepless nights.

i just posted a reply to c.dette...i think 2 frames above yours...i am battling the fever thing now..chills, the whole shabang.....and i have been off the bactrim for a day and a half...didnt experience this on the med..only after i stopped....my skin to feels like it is on fire...i go between clammy,hot,cold and sweaty....and a huge mental fog.....it feels diff. then a cold type fever...like a sunburn,without sun....lol...like a flu fever..but not quite..it is different...was trying to explain to my husband, but i am not even sure, because i have never felt like this....hope this helps
