Hello,

I understand your concern, since this is very painful.

Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the skin with redness, heat, and pain when pressed.
Everyone has the risk of experiencing the ultimate cellulitis for those with trauma to the skin or other medical problems such as:
1. Diabetes: Incomplete blood circulation is the lack of blood supply to the legs, venous return and lymphatic drainage are inhibited as in varicose veins.
2. Liver disease such as chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis
3. Skin disorders such as eczema, psoriasis, infectious diseases that cause skin lesions such as chickenpox, or severe acne.

Indeed, the treatment of cellulitis needs the use of antibiotics. Use of antibiotics should be appropriate type selection, time of use, and dose. We recommend that you consult your treating doctor in order to be given antibiotic.

In addition to antibiotics, anti-inflammatory therapy (Aleve) is also often given to reduce the symptoms of inflammation that is redness, pain and swelling. You also need to maintain the cleanliness of the cellulitis so that the infection is not getting worse.

All of your drugs were a painkiller, so I suggest you to stop consume Fenadol (I don't even know if you spell it correctly) and consult your doctor for better treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nurul Falah
