Is it bad that I skipped an antibiotic? (See details)

Hi long-lost Jelly friends,
I have a UTI and was prescribed a short-dose (6-pill over three days) course of the antibiotic Trimethoprim (in the UK, not sure if it’s special). But then I had a weird stomach thing yesterday. I was climbing a mountain and starting throwing up, which lasted into the night. I do have digestive issues and there was altitude sickness involved most likely, but I also think my body reacted to taking several pills (motion-sickness pill, antibiotic in the morning, ibuprofen later, indigestion pill, other supplements, then the icing on the cake was a different heavy-duty motion-sickness pill in the evening). I think the later puking was because of the last pill, so once it had slowed down I opted not to take that day’s second antibiotic and risk throwing up more. I think the first pill was safe; I took it around 11:00 and didn’t throw up for the first time until about 5:30. Is it okay that I skipped this pill? Can I just resume normally now and have the UTI be cured anyway?
Thanks! :)
