How Can Cellulitis Be Treated?
I was diagnosed with cellulitis in October of 2016 and took two prescriptions of antibiotics. When diagnosed, I had swelling and puffiness around my left eye. The antibiotics quelled the swelling and puffiness but I seem to still have some sympthons of the cellulitis because the left side of my face close to my eye feels stressed(for lack of better description). What should I do and/or what kind of doctor should I see?
