Doctor said i have a perianal fistula, he gave sulfamethoxazole and metronidazole to see if itd heal but pharmacy paper says not to take them together?

Not so!: There is no listed drug interaction between the 2 drugs you mentioned. The major drug interaction for metronidazole is ethyl alcohol. Don't even think of of taking a whif of alcohol while your on it. You will start pickling your liver in formaldehyde (embalming fluid).
