Sulfamethoxazole and sunburn

I had to stop 8 days into my 10 day prescription. Very hot, headache - woke up with hives and then discovered my entire body was red with a rash like sunburn. Turned itchy on my chest and arms. Face swelled a bit and looked sunburned also. Was happy to stop the medication early. Starting live yogurt to clear my system, eating garlic and drinking water.

On my six day of taking this medication I awoke in the middle of the night with a fever of 101 and was shaking almost uncontrollably due to chills. The next morning, the fever subsided but I began noticing red, rash-like dots all over my arms, legs, and torso. After doing some research on this medication and learning about some of the possible SERIOUS side effects I decided to go to the emergency room. The ER doctor told me I did not have "Stevens Johnson Syndrom" (my original fear) and prescribed me some Benadryl and Prednazone. A day later the rash has not improved and seems to be a little worse. The areas are red and feel warm--almost like a sunburn. I'm obsessed over this and am wondering if the doctor misdiagnosed me. Has anyone who developed a fever/rash from this drug and remember how long it lasted? Even tho the ER doctor released me, should I question this?

I was precribed this medication for sinus infection on 1-23-2007.It helped my sinuss but after taking it for 5 days, I got to sweeting real bad, had the chills,and was very tired. Yesterday I woke up to a rash all over my body. My left arm and back looked like a sunburn. I went to my regular doctor and he said a was allergic to this medicine, I would feel miserable for about a week. I am miserable..

I started taking sulfameth/trimethoprim for my acne nearly two weeks ago twice a day. Two days ago I started feeling what I thought were growing pains in both my legs. The pain slowly made its way both down and back up the legs. The next day I looked down at noon and these red dots had appeared all over my body. I've had a loss of appetite and the red dots have a mild iche to them. I also had a very very bad migrane for the rest of that day. Today I woke up and I am complety covered in red dots. My face is red, but not really dots, it feels more like a mild sunburn.

3 year old son, prescribed this med, due to possible allergic reaction last spring, with Amoxicilian, for a sinus infection, this year for ear infection. Took his last dose today, of 10 doses, began with a temp, yesterday of 102.4 (spike), and noticing, daily, cheeks getting progressively red, today the worst and still fever. Looks like an allergic reaction also, and I'm seeing the beginning signs of small red dots on his trunk, also increased urination, with hot and cold sweats. I'm hoping this clears up now that he's finished the Sulphameth, another red alert.
