Brief Answer: a clinical examination is a must. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for writing your query. After reading your post, itIseems that you might be having cellulitis. I would like to advise that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated. You should get your blood investigated for Complete Blood Count ( CBC ). You can take painkiller like Ibuprofen twice daily after meals along with serratipeptidase and Omeprazole 40mg. An antibiotic may be needed to control infection, if present. I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help. Regards. Thanks.
