Suffering With Cellulitis. Missed A Dose Of Antibiotic. Should I Be Worried?

I have cellulitis, was prescribed an oral antibiotic 3 days ago, I won't take it today since it really was making me feel bad, though my cellulitis is almost gone. It's Labor Day and the clinic that prescibrd the oral antibiotic is closed. Do i gut it out and take one more dosage tonight (I didn't take this morning) or not. Either way I am going back to the clinic inthemorning.

Hi,
Do not worry about the things. If you missed one dose of the antibiotic then you can take the other dose at the earliest possible. Anyhow your cellulitis part is almost healed so do not worry about anything.
