Recheck : I believe you should return to yor doctor for reevaluation especially since your condition seems to be deteriorating.

Antibiotics : Cellulitis is a condition involving soft tissue infections. The use of antibiotic therapy in such conditions is standard although not without side effects. All medications can cause systemic symptoms with headache and body cramps, but my concern would be worsening or spreading infections. If possible wound cultures with sensitivities should be taken. Discontinue the current antibiotic recommended.
