I went to bed Monday night with a weepy bit of eczema around my ankle and woke up yesterday morning with a swollen, red ankle that absolutely throbbed.
I went to the GP and got two lots of antibiotics ( amoxicillin and flucloxacillin) which I've been on for 24 hours and I was feeling quite a bit better in myself as yesterday I had a temperature of almost 40C and just slept and vomited.
But the red patch is spreading and has darkened in the centre and my leg feels very tight. I can just about hobble 50m without crying. My GP wouldn't see me as I'd been told to come back in 48 hours if the ABs hadn't worked, so I went to A&E who saw me quickly and changed my antibiotics to Augmentin. My temperature has since crept up to 38C which isn't high but it was 37C this morning.
I have something booked on Sunday where I'll need to do a lot of walking. If you've had cellulitis, how long did you take to get better?
Or am I dreaming to think my leg will be comfortable enough to walk on on Sunday?
