Family Practice : Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) is given for a bacterial infection it can treat uti's and skin infections. Sometimes you will develop enlarged ln's with an infection. When you treat it affectively the ln will get smaller. It is a sign that you are getting better. It they don't go away it could mean something else is going on.

Not sure: Swollen lymph nodes is not a diagnosis, it is a manifestation of an illness/disease. The treatment , including the use of antibiotics, depends on the underlying cause of lymphadenopathy (lymph node swelling).
