Cellulitis of Lower Limb
Hi
My fathers left leg got swollen and there is a redness in the area.
When we went to the doctor he told that it is cellulitis and started giving IV INJECTIONS.
Also the infected area was covered with Bandage mixed with Glycerine and epsom Salt.
Please suggest how many days it will take to bring condition back to normal?
Injections used are ondacetron,Shawcef SB,pantro40
