Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim is an antibiotic used to treat different types of infections.

Drowsiness can be a side effect, however, if she is being treated for an infection, it could also be caused from her being ill.

Is she on any other medications, as well?

I suggest calling her doctor to get to the root of the problem. Over the Internet, I can only guess at what might be causing the problem.

Have you considered taking her to an Emergency Care center?
