Cellulitis in right breast

April 1, 2016
Asked By:LuluBoobs in South Africa, ZA

I went to see my PS after I noticed swelling and pain. He examined me and immediately sent me to a nearby hospital for an ultrasound. My PS has put me on strong antibiotics (already helped!) and has given me his personal cellphone number so I can call him at any moment if the situation worsens - then I'll get IV treatment immediately. (My PS is brilliant). Is there anything I can do in conjunction with taking the medication that can a) help fight the cellulitis and b) ensure it does not return?
