Sulfa/trimethoprim 800 160

Im taking sulfameth trimethoprim 800-160 for an infection on my face that went into my lynph nodes. After taking only 2 pills my top lip became swollen with a rash on the inside and blisters on the bottom of my tongue. I stopped taking them for 4 days. I took one today because the infection wasnt going away. Now, my tongue feels like needles are going through it for the past 5 hours. It's now going into my gums and lips. Its also making me very tired, my vision very blurry and extremely agitated. Should I get a different antibiotic for the infection? I"m also allergic to penicillin.

Hello, Tina! How are you? I am very sorry about the reaction that you're having.

Yes, you need to see your doctor for a different antibiotic, it seems like you're having a bad reaction to this one and that usually just tends to get worse with continued use.

Also, since you took a break form it for 4 days, you'll need to start a whole new course of treatment.

Antibiotic side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
