I was stung by a stingray. the area is red and expanding. urgent care prescribed bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) and keflex. what kind of doctor do i follow up with and when?

Follow up: Usually you would follow up with a primary doctor in 3-5 days, but if the redness is expanding then that means you are getting worse, so you should go back to urgent care today. You may need an intramuscular antibiotic shot. Also it is important to make sure there is no stingray barb under the skin. Lastly, your antibiotics may need to be changed. Please go now.
