2023-02-20 00:21:03
I need help. I took 1 bactrim DS an antibiotic (Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) for a boil. (Boil is gone) .Post 36 hours of taking it, My head started spinning and i starting having terrible palpitations. I read about the side effects of it and most people have same side effects. It's been almost 2 days I am still experiencing the worst side effects. My symptoms ( Palpitations, head spinning) I went to hospital yesterday they gave me a hydrocort 100 mg injection but the symptoms still persist. Please tell me how can I feel better. I haven't slept the whole night.
