Overview
Typically a combination of intravenous and oral antibiotics are administered for the treatment of cellulitis. Bed rest and elevation of the affected limbs are recommended to accompany the antibiotic treatment. In patients with edema of the extremities, compressive stockings may really aid in treating the fluid accumulation. Small abscesses surrounding the affected tissue can be treated with a simple incision and drainage of the fluid. It is advised to drink plenty of fluids during your treatment and recovery.
