Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim is an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of infections.

Your best idea, however, is to consult with your dentist first, at least call them and explain the situation. Some want antibiotics to be used for a few days, before pulling an infected tooth, but some don't see it as necessary.

Side effects to this medication may include: nausea, drowsiness, skin rash and diarrhea.

Molly, I am not finding any information that it is contra-indicated for those conditions, but you may want to check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain.

It may also react with other medications, but I can't check on those, since you didn't list the specific ones that you're on.

Can you post back with more information, so I can check for you?

Caldwell, a cold is caused by a virus, so since this is an antibiotic, it will not have any effect on it, nor will it help with the symptoms.

So yes, if it is that bad, then he should she his doctor for assistance.

Is there anything else I can help with?
