Cellulitis : Cellulitis of face is often staph or strep. They should respond to antibiotics, although with some difficulty. Sometimes staph can be carried in the nostrils and is treated with topical bactroban (mupirocin) to lessen this. Your description of using multiple antibiotics for months, a coated white tongue and painful swallowing seems to suggest the possibility of have a yeast infection in your mouth and esophagus. This is common in situations like yours. You might benefit from reevaluation from your physician for this possibility or referral to a gastroenterologist. This condition is treatable with oral antifungal medication and should resolve in a short time. Best wishes.

Staph infection: These can be extremely stubborn because of resistant bacteria. If your gp is not successful, ask him about a referral to a specialist.
