It really depends on what type of infection is being treated. Sometimes doctors choose one antibiotic over another, because they know has been proven more effective at treating certain infections.

For instance, while it is a broad spectrum antibiotic of the Cephalosporin class, Cefdinir has been proven most effective at treat infections of ear, sinus, throat and skin. Thus, your doctor may not want to prescribe it for a urinary tract infection.

The Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim, however, has been shown to be very effective at treating urinary tract infections, so when you have one, your doctor may prefer to use it as their first choice.

And there are some infections that they are both proven effective to treat.

Since they are both antibiotics, they can cause the same side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, skin rash and diarrhea.

I tool a series of 7 days on Bactrim, and got very sick - Stiff neck, sore joints, low fever, zero appetite, drowsiness.
Is there anything to take to counteract these symptoms from the antibiotic? Can I take Motrin?
