How Long Does The Pain Take To Subside Post Treatment For Cellulitis?

My Dad has Cellulitis in his right leg. He was admitted to hospital for 10 days and was given antibiotics IV injections. Four days back he was discharged and post discharge he has been asked to continue the antibiotics course (amoxycillin + potassium clavulanate) for two weeks with complete bed rest. His leg had very minor clear fluid discharge yesterday from small/minute boils above the ankle. He has lost his apetite and still has pain in the leg. Is this something to worry about and how long it takes for pain to completely subside?

it doesn't seem a problem to worry about. continue with the antibiotics and probably add some protone pump inhibitor like omeprazole empty stomach once daily to avoid acidity due to antibiotics
