Fever itself can cause headaches.

Hi, UTI with fever itself can cause headaches. Bactrim can also cause that. You have not provided me additional asked details. You need to understand that this is a Virtual clinic and we can't examine you so we need to evaluate you based on your history.
Take Paracetamol for headache now and see your doctor if it persists.
Good Luck.
