• Rash

I have a rash all over my body. I have been taking antibiotics (Bactrim) for a week now for a UTI. Could it be from the pills?

Yes, it's possible that the rash could be a reaction to the antibiotics, like Bactrim. Antibiotics can sometimes cause allergic reactions, including rashes. Other symptoms might include itching, swelling, or even more serious reactions like difficulty breathing, though those are rarer.

It's important to stop taking the medication and contact your healthcare provider. They can determine if the rash is due to the antibiotic and recommend the best course of action, such as switching to a different medication if needed.
