No, Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim, the generic for Bactrim, is an antibiotic, so it is only effective at treating bacterial infections.

Colds and Flu are caused by viruses, so there is no effective treatment for them, they really just need to be left to run their course, though you can use some remedies to help alleviate the symptoms they may cause.

Did your doctor prescribe this?
