REPORT

My daughter is 8 years old, she was pescribed and I gave her two doses of Bactrim, she broke out in a rash from head to toe that was painful and itchy, the rash looks simular to a heat rash but it is raised from the skin. she even had it in the roof of her mouth. the Dr. stld me that it is just a reaction to the medication, even though I told her that I am allergic to sulfa. She is now on omnicef and her rash is starting to go away.

Any medication can cause a possible allergic reaction (rash, hives and more severe reactions) however most milder side effects are the nausea and diarrhea type, generally it is good to drink extra fluids with this drug unless there is a fluid restriction inposed by the doctor for kidney/or cardiac issues. Patients should discuss concerns with the orescriber and Prenant women should always discuss their pregnancy with all prescribing MDs/PAs or APRNs. Best wishes for a healthy baby. Shaunn RN

She has had the rash so far for 4days. Doctor says rash is possible side effect or possible allergic reaction.

You can't take Bactrim if you are allergic to sulfa (ie. that case of hives)
