A member asked:
I've had 12 days of flucloxacillin and penicillin and have cellulitis. it is not longer sore or hot and has reduced in size. does this mean i'm healed?

Healing slowly : Follow up with your physician and make sure you finish all the prescribed antibiotic since it seems to be working . He has the final say to see if you are healed!
