Sorry to hear about what happened to your foot. That definitely sounds like an intense accident to say the least! To help answer your question though, Sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim is a potent sulfonamide antibacterial combination that is used in the treatment of a variety of bacterial infections.

Your doctor probably felt the need to prescribed something strong in case there really was an immediate need for it.

You can learn more about this drug on the page for Sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim Details

I hope this info helps and wish you a quick recovery!
