When should we seek urgent medical attention?

Short answer Seek medical advice immediately if your child develops a fever together with a red, hot, painful or rapidly swollen limb, or if they become generally unwell. Do not wait to see if the symptoms improve on their own. Cellulitis usually requires prompt antibiotic treatment, and early treatment helps reduce complications and protects the lymphatic system from further damage.
