Had an allergic reaction to bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) yesterday and since last night my legs won't stop cramping and it's very painful. my period only lasted one day?

Allergic reaction: depending on your "allergic reaction", if you had vomiting you may have lost potassium that makes your legs cramp. so eat bananas and fresh tomatoes. it should relieve the problem and hydrate yourself well with mineral water as you are also probably dehydrated from your vomiting
