A member asked:
I have some antibiotics leftover from another incident (vibramycin). can that be used to treat cellulitis?

No...: First of all u shouldn't probably have left over antibiotics...:) and if u r not certain about your diagnosis of cellulitis you may do more harm than good. Please consult with your doc first.
