Discharge Planning
Get plenty of rest. This gives your body a chance to fight the infection.
Raise the area of the body involved as high as possible. This will ease the pain, help
drainage and reduce swelling.
Please check the label for how much to take and how often. The pain eases once the
infection starts getting better.
Be sure to take the full course of antibiotics.
You may be advised to make a follow-up appointment with your doctor to make sure the
cellulitis is improving. Dont forget to do this.
