Been taking bactrim started swelling in stomach how long after taking med does swelling go down.

Not sure.: Bactrim is an antibiotic and does not cause or reduce any swelling that is not related to infection. Generally infection large enough to cause visible swelling is quite serious and not subtle. I suggest that your swelling may be due to something else.
