It depends: on many factors; 1. do you also have fever, body aches or any other symptoms? 2. how bad or extensive is the cellulitis?; 3. where is the cellulitis, that is the location; face, head, legs etc? Without knowing the answer to the above or examining you, it will be difficult to answer your question. You may want to go see your doctor

Cellulitis.: Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the skin. It's superficial and treatable with antibiotics, either topical or oral. Some infections can be very severe and possibly deadly (MRSA), so don't take cellulitis lightly. See a doctor if you have symptoms of redness, warmth and tenderness of an area of your skin, especially if you have fever, chills or sweats. Would not delay treatment!
