Suggest Treatment For Cellulitis On Elbow

I have cellulitis on my elbow. Have completed 4 days of IV antibiotics in the hospital followed by 5 days oral and am on the last day. The swelling in my elbow has gone but still feels warm and is s bit red. My other arm is sore due to the needle in the canuala getting bent and so some antibiotics getting into my tissue and is still sore after 3 days. Is all this normal or should I go back for a check? Thank you

It is better if a treating doctor have a look at current condition cause he will be the better judge.
He might prescribe you some analgesic and some ointment to get relief from swelling due to cannula.
