Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
He had developed a condition known as cellulitis. He may need antibiotics for the above condition. Antibiotics can be taken orally. If not subsiding, then he needs to take intravenous antibiotics. Better to see the physician as soon as possible.
