Is Cephalexin The Right Treatment For Cellulitis On Face?
I have recently be diagnosed with cellulitis on my face from wax burns. I am on oral cephalexin 500 Mg. I also am applying newsprint to the burns. Is this enough since the infection is on my face? Today is only day two of antibiotic but my eye feels funny and my left side of my head has been hurting. Could be tension I guess.

Hi,
Cephalaxen is good higher antibiotic for skin infection and cellulitis.
Problem you are having might be due to cellulitis and swelling.
Continue with same antibiotic till full course.
Take some anti-inflammatory medicine for 2-3 days as well.
Ok and take care.
