I'm a little worried about cellulitis treatment. My partner has been on Augmentin 625 twice a day and Chymoral forte three times a day for the past three days. Should we be seeing a specific kind of doctor for this, or is a general practitioner okay? Also, do you think this medication regimen sounds right, or should we be doing something differently? Any advice would be super helpful.
