See a Dr: Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) is usually for UTIs and respiratory infections. Also, if you have it leftover from a prior condition it's not a great idea to have failed to finish the entire Rx. That's asking for resistant bacteria! See a Dr to get the proper Tx and follow instructions. This is your only body - take care of it! You're worth it.
