"I had a bad case of bronchitis, and Bactrim was prescribed. Within a day, I was feeling better and was completely well in 3-4 days. Amazing! However, my wife was prescribed the same drug for her bout of bronchitis and found that she was allergic to it and had horrible stomach pain. So it's obviously not for everyone."

"My doctors would always give me amoxicillin. It never did anything. I used to have bad bronchitis every winter. I had one that lasted months. My sputum turned deep brown, my middle ears were so infected I could barely hear. And I was not a smoker then. I called my ENT office off hours. I got another doctor on the call. He was older and very thorough in trying to diagnose over the phone. He said, let's try a real old drug. It was Sulfa, not the combo Bactrim. He called the pharmacy. A friend picked it up. The pill was huge. I broke it into three pieces to get it down with lots of water. The next day was like a miracle, I felt so much better. It seems Sulfa is an all-around gold standard antibiotic for me for any infection."

"I took this medicine in early June for bronchitis. It worked, and I was all better by the time it was done. In early July, I began to feel general malaise with various symptoms, nausea, fatigue, etc. They did blood work and found that my AST and LST #'s were near 1000 and 900, respectively. It took 4 months for my numbers to go down. And a month later, I started to experience gastrointestinal problems, which is still going on. Not a good experience at all."

"I hate being on Bactrim! My tongue hurts constantly, it’s painful and swollen. My gums hurt and are raw. Eating is almost impossible and a horrible experience. And now, after being on it for over a month, I have developed a sore throat and swollen glands. I am constantly stuffed up and congested. I honestly don’t know how much more I can take."
