I have recently finished a course of antibiotics (500mg flucloxacillin) for cellulitis in my breast. The swelling has gone down & the redness has practically disappeared but I'm still feeling a dull aching pain & sometimes have a shooting pain in my breast. How long does the pain usually last?

      Oh bless. Luckily mine isn't affected by the phone or doorbell. I finally managed to get a doctor's appointment & I'm back on antibiotics. Fingers crossed this next batch of tablets works
