Cellulitis first and foremost keep you leg up as much as you can!
When lying down make sure your leg is higher that your hip so your lying in a rocket position.
This then will prevent swelling.
2 weeks of antibiotics should do the trick. Also keep the wound if there is one down there on the toe bacteria free,
