"I took Bactrim DS for 10 days, twice a day, had a fever and headaches while taking it, ibuprofen helped, now I'm done taking it, but lower esophagus is sore and bending over picking things up, example: doing laundry, hurts when I'm stretching my neck. It's only been a few days so far, hopefully it'll go away on its own."
