Treatment failure: Symptoms of an illness that will respond to a particular antibiotic usually start to improve within a few days and certainly shouldn't get worse. Cellulitis is the condition of the skin when infected, characterized by warmth, tenderness, redness and sometimes drainage. Cellulitis that doesn't improve with oral medications often requires IV antibiotics and possibly surgical intervention.
