Accepted Answer

Absolutely NOT !!!!: Do not give your daughter bactrim, (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) which is a sulfonamide (sulfa) and could, if she is truly allergic, produce a life-threatening reaction.  If she has already taken it and has no reactions, might continue, but if any reactions stop and see the dr. Who prescribed this.

Accepted Answer

Probably OK, but...: I doubt there is any serious potential for an adverse interaction. However, one of the problems with "natural" medicines, herbal products, and nutritional supplements, etc is that their exact contents often are unknown, And even when known, there is little research on interations with other drugs. So hard to be certain -- but probably no problem.

Question 8

painful blisters in mouth & vagina due to bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) allergy. ok to put benzocaine cream on outer vag, offers a little relief. what else can i use? help!

Accepted Answer

Symptomatic relief: is best after discussion with your PCP or doctor. Make sure this is documented in your chart as ALLERGY TO BACTRIM/SULFAS. The symptomatic relief is perhaps the best, like ice chips, no hot, spicy, foods. Keep it bland, hydrating, easy to digest as your entire throat may also be affected down to your gut. Tepid, soothing, nonstinging baths like Aveeno (oatmeal) may be helpful. No chemical shampoos or soaps.
