Bactrim and mom

I was prescribed the generic for Bactrim for the last ten days for cellulites around a bug bite.........fortunately, i did not have as many of the horrible side effects reported by some, but i realize now that about 7 days into taking it i started to develop a small lump on back of my neck, right below hairline, tender to the touch, now after i have finished day 10, i have two more bumps.....i freaked out, but now after reading some of these posts, it seems it might just be a common side effect with this medication for some.........guess they're just swollen glands.......since I'm done taking already, i guess there's not much to do but to wait for the glands to return to normal!! thanks for the posts, it helps to validate my experience!!

i had got on Bactrim for a skin infection from a bite on my left upper thigh I was on it for 9 days (it was 10 day supply) did ok then on the 9th day of taking it after my night dose my throat started getting to where it was hard to swallow an I started throwing up so I went in an laid down with my mom an woke up in the mid morning covered in hives that itched and burned an looked as if they were 1/2 in to 1 in off the skin we rushed me to urgent care an they said it was an allergic reaction to sulfa gave me steroid peels and a new antibiotic to clear up a bladder infection well the next day went back in my eye swollen shut an my lip tripled in size they gave me a steroid shot an told me take Benadryl...this has lasted almost 6 days now..knowing God is healed me!.......just wondering how long symptoms will last ?

BACTRIM ALMOST KILLED MY MOM.

BACTRIM CAUSED POTASSIUM LEVEL INCREASED SO HIGH THAT MY MOM HAD GONE INTO CARDIAC ATTACK. LUCKILY, DOCTOR AT ER RECOGNIZED HER CAUSE OF PROBLEM WAS FROM SIDE EFFECT OF BACTRIM AND HE TREATED HER ACCORDINGLY BUT SHE WAS IN COMA FOR 11 HOURS BEFORE SHE CAME BACK AROUND.

WHEN MY MOM HEART WENT INTO CARDIAC ARREST, IT HAD HAPPENED WHILE SHE WAS RIGHT IN EMERGENCY ROOM. I BROUGHT HER IN ER BECAUSE HER VOICE WAS BROKEN UP WHEN SHE TRIED TO TALK THEN 45 MINUTES AFTER WE ARRIVED AT ER, HER HEART GAVE OUT ON HER. SHE WOULD NOT BE ALIVE IF SHE WAS NOT IN HOSPITAL WHEN THAT HAPPENED.

BACTRIM ALSO DESTROYED HER BLOOD CELL, HER BLOOD NORMAL LEVEL WAS 10 BUT IT WENT DOWN TO 6.2 IN 11 HOURS ORDEAL. SHE HAD TO RECEIVE TWO PINTS OF BLOOD TO BRING HER BLOOD LEVEL BACK TO OUT OF DANGER LEVEL. I AM USING A LAY TERM BUT I KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO MY MOM.

MY MOM IS STILL NOT OUT OF HER DANGER YET BECAUSE HER BLOOD PRESSURE IS NOW SOARING FROM HER NORMAL LEVEL AROUND 110/65 TO A CURRENT OF AROUND FROM BETWEEN 140/80 TO 180/100. SHE JUST BEING DISCHARGED FROM HOSPITAL ONLY 2 DAYS AGO.

BACTRIM WAS PRESCRIBED TO MY MOM BY A PHYSICIAN ASSISTANCE IN EMERGENCY ROOM WHEN MY MOM CAME IN FOR CELLULITES ON HER FOOT AND SHE WAS ALMOST DIED FROM ITS SIDE EFFECTS OF BACTRIM AFTER SHE TOOK IT FOR 7 DAYS.

I SYMPATHIZE WITH THE LADY WHO LOST HER HUSBAND BY SIDE EFFECTS OF BACTRIM.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE BACTRIM UNTIL YOU READ ALL ABOUT SIDE EFFECTS AND ASK YOUR DOCTOR FOR OTHER ALTERNATIVE DRUG.
