Its unlikely that the symptoms of Bactrim to last so long even after discontinuation of the drug.
I would request you to consult your Surgeon for further assessment of your symptoms and to rule out residual infection.
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
