Cephalexin is not the first line of drugs which can be used, but it can be used. Penicillins and amoxicillin is the first line.
Use the cephalexin if you do not wish to visit the ER. Take one 750 mg tablet twice a day for the next 14 days. Write to me directly if there are any other issues.
Best wishes.
