A member asked:
Pcp told me i had cellulitis in my small toe and gave me clindamycin. 48 hours later, it is still very sore and no better than it was. is this normal?

Hard to say: Cellulitis should improve with Clindamycin in the given time frame. Normally when monitoring cellulitis, it is a good idea to mark the border with a pen so the improvement can be visually checked. Given it has not improved at all, it will be a good idea to have your PCP take a look at it again.
