I am curious if anyone else has had any of these side effects from taking bactrim. My mouth is so swollen with blisters all inside my mouth.....now it has started to affect my private area as well with same symptoms. I cant eat and it burns all day long. I only took 4 pills when this started. Please help if you can.

I had extremely similar reaction to what I believe to be bactrim. I started on a regular dosage and immediately had excrutiating vaginal burning and itching. I tried sitting in the tub full of hot water, which brought me temporary relief. I sat with a heating pad in between my legs for the entire day. Days upon days. My lips started to crack and become inflamed with sores. Soon after, I developed THRUSH in my mouth. I couldn't eat or drink anything for a week straight, I had to go to the ER and receive liquids and vitamins intravenously. I stopped taking the bactrim and started taking diflusinal? I believe it was for the thrush in my mouth. It took about two full weeks for me to able to eat solid foods again. I never realized it was bactrim until yesterday I had a cyst in my ear and I was told to take bactrim. I took two pills last night and within the first 15 minutes the vaginal itching and burning began, as well as a little bit later my tongue started to feel sore. Is there any way to expedite this healing process? I'm miserable, and I'm a student who is missing a lot of class time. Please help.

I had extreme mouth sores after taking this one dose of this med. I went to the doctor and they said I had an allergic reaction and prescribed an epi-pen. They also said this is an old med that doesn't work well and shouldn't be used any more.

This happened to me last month when I took the medicine. I had cold sore ulcers so bad in my mouth I could barely talk or eat. I'm taking it again and the same thing has happened. I didn't know this was a side effect!

Absolutely -- They should at least post a strong warning. I have Legal Shield and called my law firm and they said I should be able to go after the pharmaceutical company for some compensation. Took about a week for the mouth sores to at least lessen so I could eat and swallow.

Do symptoms go away once bactrim is discontinued? White spots on tongue & inside mouth

Likely a sulfa allergy; same thing happens to me. Historically, I had never had a problem taking this medication. First time symptoms developed I stayed the course, and in addition to mouth sores, my fingers and hands became arthritic. I have since tried it again, and mouth sores after 3-4 pills. Discontinue, get another rx, and list bactrim as drug allergy

I have read other forums with people complaining of the same reaction or similar. I think this needs to be reported and a black box warning should go along with this drug. Too many people getting very ill from Bactrim. Worst illness is when someone develops full blown Stevens Johnson Syndrome.
