Suggest Treatment For Cellulitis.

I have what I believe is cellulitis on my right shin. The symptoms started this morning after I woke up; they include red swollen skin with red bumps, tender and warm to the touch, painful when touching or moving my leg. I do not have a fever. Can I wait till morning to see my doctor, or should I go to the emergency room tonight?

Hi thanks for using HCM
No problem you can wait till morning
But today night take antibiotic Ofloxacin 200 mg and analgesic acetaminophen and paracetamol. Go to your local doctor and elicit the cause and take treatment accordingly.
