Preseptal Cellulitis-antibiotics
I was diagnosed with preseptal cellulitis of my eye and was put on a 7 day course of clindamycin. I’m on day 6 and my eye is definitely feeling and looking better, but it is still a bit swollen. Should I get another course of antibiotics? I don’t have insurance and so I don’t want to go to the doctor again unless it’s absolutely necessary.

If it is improving then it means antibiotic is working
You can wait for a week for complete recovery
Having said that it is provisional diagnosis
Kindly share photos of your eyes so that I may guide you better
