Was prescribed DS (Double strength) 800-160 Sulfameth/Trimeth for 7 days/ 2 pills per day to treat a staph infection from a cut. On the last day, I woke up with a swollen gland under my left ear and a red, itchy rash all over my face and arms. Small hives also began to appear. Today is the next day and the hives are spreading but don't last very long. Very itchy, though, and that's unrelenting. Hoping it will decrease quickly since the first symptoms didn't appear till the dose of Bactrim was almost over.

Omg. The same thing happened to me. I was about 7 days into a 10 day treatment of bactrim when I too woke up with the gland uder my left ear swollen. On the 9th day of treatment I woke up with and itchy rash on parts of my body. It was the worst around my ankles and would come and go during the day.
