A member asked:

I took bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) to treat uti for three days. i am worse. now have vomiting, nausea, cramps, burning urination, fever, and low temps of 96.4. what could this be? could it be a kidney infection?

Worsening UTI: Yes, these could be signs of a kidney infection, or a bladder infection that is not sensitive to Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim). The prescribing doctor needs to hear about this immediately, because someone who is vomiting cannot keep down further meds. They will probably arrange a late add-in clinic appointment or ER visit.

Yes: Sounds like pyelonephritis or kidney imfection. See a MD ASAP as urine bacteria seems to be resistant to Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) and prolonging kidney infect can cause permanent renal damage
