How to ease pain from cellulitis?

Cellulitis: Most of the time, treatment involves antibiotics taken by mouth and close follow-up by your doctor. You may be given painkillers. You should raise the infected area higher than your heart to reduce swelling. Rest until your symptoms improve.

Observe and Manage: Pain should be observed as a symptom of improvement or worsening. Simple otc anti-inflammatory agents may be the best pain management agents. Obviously tylenol (acetaminophen) in cases of anticoagulant therapy. Narcotic pain management should be used for severe pain, although severe pain should be considered a sign of medical emergency.
