Other causes: need to evaluate for possible other causes that may present like cellulitis. U should be checked for for possible phlebitis(vein swelling), DVT ( deep blood clot) if u have not responded to antibiotic tx. Also should consider use of other antibiotics and taking a wound cx if u have any open seeping wounds.
