Suggest Treatment For Cellulitis On The Hand
My mother got cellulitis in her hand just from blood being drawn from her arm. She was on antibiotics when it came in her other hand. She had been on the antibiotic for 2 days. She had blood drawn from this arm since the other arm was hurting from the cellulitis.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM
As your mother is already on antibiotics,ask her to continue the full course of antibiotics.This is the treatment for cellulitis.
Also take pain killers like analgesics for pain.
If the swelling doesn't come down by this measures,surgical intervention like fasciotomy is needed.
Hope i have answered your query.
Thank you
