I was recently diagnosed with cellulitis and put on cephalexin. sometimes the swelling goes down but it always comes back up. is it really cellulitis?

Tough to tell.: Cellulitis is infection with staph or strep. It could be that you need a different antibiotic, or you have persistent nidus of infection. Go back to the doctor for re-evaluation.

If the infection: is not responding to this treatment,return to your doc to show this.U can take pictures when it is the worst looking to show the Duc.
