Hi,

As per your query about swelling in lungs along with red bumps can be due to cellulitis as she was exposed to this before also along with contact dermatitis. As per my advice you can use the ointment which was prescribed earlier for local application but for treatment of celulitis antibiotics are needed to be taken orally or injectably as per need and for this you should consult the physician or your family doctor.

I hope the information helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jyoti Pandey
