Why Is My Elbow Swelling And Hurting?
elbow started swelling and hurt bad! Went to doc and he said I have cellulitus and it is in my armpit lymph nodes. Gave me clindamycin hcl 150 and levofloxacin along with a probiotic. I feel worse now after 2 days, everyone says I should have been admitted to a hospital because this can be deadly

Hello,
Those antibiotics should take care of a cellulitis but can take a while to work. If you feel that the infection is worse or if your fevers are high you should go to emergency.
