Dear Es, That sounds miserable! Yes, it could take some time for the antibiotics to kick in.
If it is cellulitis, or even if it is not, I would take a ton of turmeric. 5 capsules or a teaspoon every two hours with 8 ounces of water. Best with a little black pepper and some coconut oil.
If you can get some activated charcoal powder, I would make a a charcoal poultice and change it every two hours. Make many at once and keep them in the refrigerator. They will be soothing to something hot and swollen.

I don't know what your medical options are but I would keep and eye on it and return to the clinic if you end up having any red streaks from the site or a fever. It sounds quite serious.
That said, we have had charcoal and turmeric resolve some serious conditions.
Please report back. I will want to know how you are doing.

You may want to take a look at what some have said about Goldenseal on this site. Very interesting stuff.
