Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had celulitis in both legs from knees down for approx six weeks,. preceeded by water retention I have been prescribed cream and antibiotics during this time. I am now on the second week of these Clarithromycin 500mg and am still uncomfortable and tired of the restrictions I have. I do get sharp pains in various places on legs and feet. Although it looks better now the swelling in my ankles and lower legs just doesn;t go away. What should I do?
