Allergic reaction: STOP!!! And do not ever take a sulphonamide again. This class of antibiotics has a very high frequency of allergic reactions and some of these can be life-threatening. If this doesn't get better quickly or god forbid is getting worse go to an ER and get seen. Best wishes.

Interesting note: I have found that the herb black cumin seed (nigella sativa) is a very effective alternative for those who can not take the antibiotic bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim)., with no side effects.
