Hello,
Cellulitis is an infective condition and has to be treated accordingly.
Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. Most probably she will require intravenous antibiotics. Nothing much to worry and she can take antibiotics like Ampicillin which is very safe in pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
