Bactrim is used to treat ear infections, urinary tract infections, bronchitis, traveler's diarrhea, and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. It's probably not the best thing to use to treat a fever blister. Antibiotics don't do any thing for viral infections, fever blisters are caused by a virus. It could also cause side affects like rashes, nausia, diahrea and vomiting.
If it's around your mouth then you should consult with a doctor and see if it can be applied there.
For safer treatment, you can use over the counter cold sore creams like abreva.
