New skin abscesses while on antibiotic

2017-11-24 09:51:00
I️ went to the ER with two abscesses/cellulitis that were surgerically drained. They prescribed me an antibiotic Keflex, but two new inflamed bumps are starting to form. If new abscesses are forming, is it likely they prescribed me the wrong antibiotic?
