How To Treat Painful Burning Sensation In The Right Hand While Having Cellulitis?
I had cellulitis in my right hand. After both IV and oral antibiotics I still have thumb, index and middle finger that are not working. I can bend them but they tingle, throb, thumb also burns a bit. Nerve damage? Can it be fixed if it is?

Hello,
You need to see a hand surgeon. It sounds like you may have some median nerve entrapment. A steroid injection may help relieve this. If not surgery may be necessary.
