i was hospitalised 16 days ago with cellulitis. I was treated with IV antibiotics, for 7 days, then released from hospital with a further 8 day supply of oral antibiotics. I completed the course today. However when I do not have my leg elevated, the redness returns with some swelling. Is this normal or should I see my GP? Thanks
Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that after having this much long antibiotic course red less probably should have been gone. But there must be recurrence of the infections. So in my advice you should consult the doctor. I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious disease specialist. Wish you the best health at Chat Doctor.
