Suggest Treatment For Cellulitis In The Right Leg

my son has this condition: celullitis in the lower part of his right lig, for about a month or more it is like a redish circle and some times it hurts. he is in a florida prison and it took ahile before they finally gave him 3 injections of recaphin. it is a little bit better only. it is a good med for this condition? now they took blood sample and told him that if his white blood cellcount was 40 or more he will have to be kept at the clinic, does this makes any sense, thanks a million for your help May God bless you

Hi,

Thanks for your question on HCM

I do understand your pain and discomforts

As per your history is concerned he is given right medications ,so continue with it and it is good for cellulitis,tell him to elevate his leg while sleeping on bed.You can do few natural things at home which can also be used along with medications,

Make a turmeric poultice by mixing one tablespoon of raw honey, one teaspoon of turmeric powder and three drops of tea tree oil in one or two teaspoons of bentonite clay, enough to make a paste. Apply it on the affected area and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing it off. Use it daily for a 5-7 days.

Hope that helps
