A member asked:
I have cellulitis and iam currently on antibiotics and spend 5 days in hospital on iv antibiotics. when will swelling go down in my belly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe 2 wk or more: Complete clearing of swelling or redness after treatment of cellulitis can take a couple of weeks, even a couple of months. No way for anyone from a distant forum to predict in any particular case. Check with your doctor.
