Bactrim side effect?

I took 4 pills of Bactrim for a UTI. IN the ER my dr told me my UTI was gone and I could discontinue the meds. I haven’t had a dose in 36 hours and my eyes are dry and sort of burning. The inside of my mouth feel slight burning/tingling and my eyes feel slightly sore.

Complaint duration: 3 days
Medications: Bactrim discontinued

You should get your eyes examined . You may have keratitis
“Eyes feeling sore” is not a common adverse reaction to Bactrim. See an ophthalmologist for diagnosis.
Not likely from bactrim. You might be dehydrated
