Sulfamethoxazole and medications

my special needs child has only taken three doses of this medication and he has a rash from his chin down to his private area and he is a special needs chils on eight medications. his rash hurts and burns his stomach also hurts..I DO NOT RECCOMMEND THIS MEDICATION AT ALL!!!!!

My 13-mo. old son was prescribed sulfameth-trimeth susp. for having had fever of 103F for 3 days without any cold or flu symptoms. He had to take a tsp. twice a day for 10 days but after only 2 days of taking it, he developed a terrible hive-like rash all over his body. His fever has subsided but I have discontinued this medication and will be contact his doc asap. I would not recommend this drug.

I was prescribed sulfameth/trimethoprim 800 for my Urine tract infection, 2 tablet/day. After the fifth day, I experienced rash over my whole body and fatique. On the sixth day I got a fever/chill. I suspected it's a reaction from the medicine so I stop taking it. I took 2 Aleve tablet and the fever stop. I went to my family Doc and she said the rash is caused by my allergic to Sulfameth, especially if the body is exposed to the sun. She said it's good that i stop using Sulfameth. the rash should go way after couple day. she pescribed Dytan( anti hystamine) to relieve the rash.

I've had similar reactions to the medications as the people below. Sulfameth 800/160 was prescribed to me because of a cyst (acne) the of a nickel appeared on my cheek. Although the bacteria is slowly dieing, I've been extremely exhausted, unable to fully focus, light headed, some dizzy spells, some lost of appetite, but I make sure to eat before taking the medication. Ive also been feeling some back pain and tension.

After taking sulfmeth-trimeth to cure my UTI, on the 8th day. I woke up with a small patch of red bumps on my inner thigh that looked like mosquito bites!! I did not think much of it..But then later on that day when I went to the bath room. I realized it spread all over my thighs and part of my stomach and legs. Then thats when I really freaked out. I am usually not allergic to any medications. I discontinued the medication. And now till this day am taking Benadyrl.
