Im worried about my 11 year old sister....?!


Question: Im worried about my 11 year old sister!.!.!.!.!?
My mom is out of town and i got a call from her school to come get her because she has a rash on her legs, on her inner knees!. So i pick her up and take her to the doctor!. She is diagnosed with cellulitis!. We think it started from a mosquito bite that she was scratching and broke the skin!. The doctor said that if her antibiotics do not work (she has bactrim and a topical antibiotic) she will have to be admitted into the hospital and be given iv antibiotics!.
What are the chances of that happening!? I am very worried!
Can someone explain cellulitis a little better to me!?
What are the chances that she will be ok!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Dont worry!. If the oral antibotics dont work they will just start an IV in the hospital so they can give antibotics through the IV and this will keep her safe from developing any infection!. If she is healthy and strong and you guys keep on top of the cellulitis, keep her dry and cool and dont let her touch it!. When you apply the antibiotics always wash your hands before and after! Dont let her touch her leg before washing her hands with soap and warm water!. I am sure she will be fine and if she has to go to the hospital just realize it is to help keep her safe and healthy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
