Cellulitis: Go immediately to an emergency room and get seen before this gets out of hand. You have progressive and potentially life-threatening infection and this cannot be ignored. Go now, do not wait. Best wishes for a successful outcome.

Call the Doctor: No. Absolutely not. You are getting worse on the current treatment. This is nothing to ignore. Your physician needs to know this or re-evaluate.
