Hi
Bactrim is an antibacterial drug and will not reduce the yeast infection. Other antibacterial drug like norfloxacin should be used for urinary tract infection.Drink plenty of fluids.
Antifungal drugs like fluconazole is required to be taken.Vaginal creams containing clotrimazole or miconazole can be used.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
