[|AI|]  Dear patient Cellulitis is infection of the subcutaneous tissue by bacteria usually staphylococcus. Usual treatment is anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  You have teamed both and should be fine. Longer course of antibiotics may be required in case if diabetic patient. If it is not relieved after antibiotics cellulitis may spread and there may be abscess formation. Please consult general surgeon nearby you and get yourself examined. Local ultrasound may be done to see abscess formation.
