Antibiotic Drugs

• Facial cellulitis should be taken seriously and medical attention should be provided immediately. Doctors will usually prescribe antibiotic drugs, because in most cases the cellulitis is caused by infecting bacteria. The antibiotics will kill the bacteria, resulting in healing of the condition. Generally oral administration of the drug is adequate, but for severe cases of facial cellulitis, the doctor might prescribe intravenous administration of the antibiotic drugs.
  
  

Vitamin Supplements

• After being diagnosed with facial cellulitis, the doctor will, in most cases, recommend the taking of certain vitamin supplements known to aid the skin in the healing process. Vitamins C and E help in this way, as does the mineral zinc. These nutritional supplements will help the body's immunity get stronger so that it can fight and impede the development of the infecting bacteria, thereby reducing infections and healing the condition, efficiently and quickly.
  
  

Herbal Cures

• Herbal treatments have also been known to be effective in healing the condition of facial cellulitis by improving the general immunity of the body. Herbs such as echinacea are known to be effective aids in helping the body's immunity to battle the invading bacteria, while the pine-tree bark extract of pycnogenol is regarded as a promoter of skin that is robust and healthy. Local application of herbs on the cellulitis affected area is known to bring down swelling and inflammation and effectively fight bacteria, thereby reducing infection. Yarrow and goldenseal root extracts or pastes can be applied topically for cellulitis relief.
  
  

Alternative Treatment

• The age-old Chinese mode of treatment of acupuncture is known to heal facial cellulitis by promoting a robust immunity for the body. This is a distinctly unorthodox method of treatment in modern times, and therefore should be administered by specialists only. A wrongful application of this process might increase the level of infection.
  
  

General Measures

• You have to maintain cleanliness and personal hygiene at all times. Clean the cellulitis-affected area with antiseptic medicine and prescribed ointment or gel at regular intervals, as directed by your physician. Do not eat food that shows even the slightest sign of being spoiled. Diabetic patients need to take additional care of the facial cellulitis as their immunity in fighting against infection is lower.
