How Long Does Cellulitis Last? |
I got cellulitis in my arm from an injection at a doctor's office. It's been about two weeks (on antibiotics) and the redness and swelling has gone down, but it still hurts and it feels like bugs are crawling around in my arm. Has anyone had this and knows how long I can expect this type of thing? Could there be nerve damage? Go back to your doctor immediately! My grandpa gets it in his legs often because of his age and it can lead to other problems. If you get a high fever, go to the emergency room. Don't just sit around waiting for it to get better. a 2-4 weeks You need to see your doctor. The antibiotics may not be correct. Cellulitis lasts different periods of time depending on multiple factors: Age, overall health (diabetes, etc...), site of infection, pus pockets, and appropriate early antibiotics. Go back to the doctor. You may need a stronger antibiotic. I had cellulitis on my face this winter and it took several rounds of antibiotics, increasingly stronger to finally knock it out. SEE YOUR DOCTOR, YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN ALLERGIC TO THE SHOT HE GAVE YOU.....DON`T WAIT TILL IT GETS WORSE.......GO NOW OR CALL HIM.........IT`S IMPORTANT...... I have cellulitis in my breast where I had cancer. I've been on IV antibiotics for 12 days and am also taking oral antibiotics. It is slowly getting better. The nurse at the hospital as well as someone on my bc support group said it can take up to three weeks. |
