What Can Cause Chills And Difficulty In Swallowing While On Bactrim?

a few days ago I started shivering uncontrollably and I could barely swallow and my neck and jaw tightened up, I did not go to ER and all of a sudden the shivering stopped. I was drinking water and I did not panic the tightness subsided as well not sure if it could have been a drug allergy since I was taking Bactrim but for about seven days Could it be or is it symptoms of something else?

Hi,

The chills with swallowing difficulty seem more likely related to a side-effect of Bactrim, which may present after a certain dose intake also.

I recommend to stop consuming further doses of the Bactrim and contact your doc immediately.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
