Suggest Treatment For Itchy Painful Swelling On Legs
I have cellulitis in my right lower leg. I was on oral antibiotics for a week but it did not help. The bone in my shin hurts a lot and the swelling is painful and itchy. I feel short of breath and my leg is extremely hard. I had to make arrangements to go back to the hospital tomorrow. Am I in danger?

Hi,
You are in danger only if you don't follow the advice of your doctor.
Apply compression bandage and elevate your limb when ever in sitting or in lying position.
You can consult orthopaedician nearby you.
He will do your physical examination and advise you accordingly.
I hope it helps.
Thanks.
Dr.Singh.
