Recent case of Cellulitis in my ankle?

Several months ago I received stitches in my ankle from a door being slammed on it too hard. The stitches fell out a few days later and it instantly became red and inflamed. I was diagnosed with cellulite and had an abscess in my ankle, which immediately lead to being put on IV antibiotics for 8 days. I then had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic so they took me off of it all together. I noticed an improvement quickly and it healed rather well. It was no longer sensitive and I went back to my regular lifestyle.

Unfortunately, I am not too familiar with the details of cellulitis, but I do know that it’s a staph infection which is regularly treated with “sulfa” drugs. They are highly allergenic, and you must have had a reaction.

I am not sure what to do about cellulitis, but it seems easy enough to google. Here is from Wikipedia (it sounds like you may want to try another antibiotic, but get a second opinion to be sure:)

“Treatment consists of resting the affected limb or area, cleaning the wound site if present (with debridement of dead tissue if necessary) and treatment with oral antibiotics, except in severe cases, which may require admission and intravenous (IV) therapy.[2] Flucloxacillin monotherapy (to cover staphylococcal infection) is often sufficient in mild cellulitis, but in more moderate cases or where streptococcal infection is suspected then usually combined with oral phenoxymethylpenicillin or intravenous benzylpenicillin, or ampicillin/amoxicillin (e.g. co-amoxiclav in the UK). Pain relief is also often prescribed, but excessive pain should always be considered relevant, as it is a symptom of necrotising fasciitis, which requires emergency surgical attention
