Can anyone recommend anything for us to look at - creams, foodtypes, anitbiotic courses, causes etc. please?
Many thanks everyone!

Hello There and Welcome to the Forum. I wish it was under
better circumstance. I feel for your Brother. It doesn't sound
like a mild case if the anti-biotics haven't worked. I wonder if
he has Varicella as well.
I guess you've read up on Cellulitis already but here's another
link with the causes and at the bottom, treatments and medications.
I'll look around but I doubt there are any special creams, etc. since
anti-biotics are indicated.
We pray that your Brother recovers from this nasty condition. All the
Best to him.
