Cellulitis
My father is diagnosed with cellulitis in his nose and it is been three days. Swelling is seen sometimes to right side and sometimes to left side. Pain has reduced after medication, however, we could see the pus in the wound. We tried draining it and applying ointment. I hope everything will be ok
