General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

For severe cellulitis, you require IV antibiotics like Piperacillin or Tazobactam under observation of a physician. You require daily dressing with a proper aseptic condition. Kindly do discharge culture and sensitivity.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
