Like 25% of the population are allergic to it. If she was taking it as her own prescription instead of just accidently taking one pill I would call her doctor but because it was only one it shouldn't have built up in her system enough to give her any really adverse side effects. If she is allergic to it, it may make her break out in a rash/hives for like 24 hours. But even then doctors would just say not to take it anymore.

Bactrim is actually what they prescribe usually during pregnancy for UTI's so it shouldn't hurt you.
