My son in law has a severe case of cellulitis. He is going in to the ER every 12 hours for IV antibiotics. He is also taking oral antibiotics, this has been going on for 2 weeks and there is little improvement. The cellulitis is in his testicles and he is in a great deal of pain. Does it usually take this long for improvement?
HelloThanks for query. Your son-in-law has Cellulitis of scrotum .1)Is he diabetic?2) Have you done culture and sensitivity of discharge from the wound to trace out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to. Please get culture done and start with appropriate antibiotics as per culture report along with anti-inflammatory medication like Diclofenac or Serropeptidase twice daily. It should get cured within 3 weeks. Chat Doctor.
