How To Cure Cellulitis In The Toes And Foot?

I HAVE BEEN TOLD I HAVE CELLUITIS IN MY TOES AND FOOT....THE NEXT DOCTOR THOUGHT I HAD CELLUITIS AND GOUT. I WAS GIVEN KEFKEX BY THE EMERGENCY ROOM DOCTOR. NOTHING CHANGED SO I WENT TO THE PA AT MY REGULAR DOCTOR, AND SHE CHANGED MY ANTIBIOTIC FOR GOUT AS WELL. THIS ANTIBIOTICIS CALLED AMOXIX CLAV 875-125. SHE ALSO GAVE ME INDOMETHACIN. NOTHING SEEMS TO HELP. THE PAIN IS ACIHING, AND I CAN'T PUT ANY WEIGHT ON IT COMFORTABLY. I HAVE NEVER HAD EITHER OF THE ABOVE DISORDERS. I ELEVATE MY FOOT AND US ICE WHEN I CAN STAN THE WEIGHT. WHAT NOW. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TWO WEEKS. WE HAD TO MISS MY NEXT DOCTOR APPT., AND NOW ARE UNDER ANOTHER ICE AND SNOW STORM!!
tHANK YOU,

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
If this is Gout then the given medicine wont help you any more, first you have to get it confirm whether it is Gout or not have you done the investigation for this and does this confirm the diagnosis? if yes then you have to take the following medicine
1) Tab Allopurinol 100 mg once in day
2) Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day ( Stop taking this once the pain subsided )
Hope this information helps you, have nice day.
