Is Cephalexin The Right Medicine For Cellulitis?

I have started taking cephalixine( not sure if spelled correctly) for cellulitis and the other day another doctor prescribed me to take sulfamethoxale also. I am feeling very nauseas from taking sulfamethoxale, can I stop taking it but continue take cephalixine?

Hi,

I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but to decide the best antibiotic for treating your cellulitis a swab culture is recommended along with a sensitivity test.

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