A member asked:
How long should i see improvement of cellulites if i started taking antibiotics for 2 days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Now: There shoul be some improvement within two days. If the area of redness has not diminished or has increased, a doctor should be for evaluation. It may be that the infection is resistant to that particular antibiotic.
