cellulitis

bestfind · January 2017

I would like some advice on how to deal with cellulitis. I have had 2 times in the last 3 weeks. I have pain and swelling on my right side which is the side of the mastectomy. I have submitted other question and have not received any responses. I do not know if I am doing this correctly. I just joined 2 days ago.

You did get some answers.

Have you been to the doctors? Are you currently on antibiotics? Cellulitis can deteriorate quickly.

go see a doctor is my advice. After many years of recurring cellulitis I have a repeater prescription for oral antibiotics. If they don't help or if it's really bad to start I go to emergency for IV antibiotics for 2-4 days and then Oral antibiotics for 7-10 days. My lymphedema flares up after an infection so I want it cleared up right away. Regardless of whether you have lymphedema or not though seeing a doctor is a good thing for cellulitis, Good luck.

Bestfind, you did receive a couple of responses to your earlier post--they're further down the list here, so maybe harder to find. Here's a link to get you there:

Let me know if that link doesn't get you to your earlier post, and be well!
