I have a swollen leg which was diagnosed at the local Health Centre as Cellulitis. I have been on drugs and injections for the ailment for the last three weeks. Although the swelling is much reduced, the muscles at the back of my leg are still swollen. Kindly let me know what to do as I have been on treatment for about a month now.

Apart from the diagnosis, it would have been helpful if you had been informed of what led to the Cellulitis. That way, you would be able to take extra measures to hasten your recovery or avoid a repetition of the ailment. Although swellings in the lower limb usually take a while to heal completely, my suggestion at this stage is to seek a second opinion preferably from a Medical Specialist at the nearest Specialist or Teaching Hospital to you.
