I was prescribed Sulfameth/Tmp for UTI 2 months ago and my throat really hurts now and all i have is the listed medication. Can i use this antibiotic for my throat? Or is it specifically for UTI?

Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim is an antibiotic that can be used to treat various infections, it is not limited to UTIs. I just started taking it for a skin infection.

Learn more Bactrim details here.

However, you should see a doctor to have the presence of an infection confirmed and to make sure it is an appropriate antibiotic to use, if so.

Are there any other questions or comments?
