No. Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim is an antibiotic that is used to treat various bacterial infections and, as such, it will not be effective at treating a cold. Colds are caused by a virus, not a bacterial infection.

Additionally, improper use of antibiotics creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria.
