A member asked:

Can taking bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) for a uti cause my tooth ache to become worse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Unless of course you are chewing the Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) on the aching tooth. If you have a toothache strongly suggest you see a dentist, asap.
