Every time one of my carees gets cellulitis, it's a trip to the doctors 5 miles away or a trip to the hospital A&E , hours waiting.
the doctors know she has Diabetes type 2 cellulitis a lot more likely, surely it would make sense to give her a prescription in advance to get antibiotics as soon as possible.
Is this allowed, every time I get a phone call she is not well but I have to go around sometimes late at night to take her to A&E.
With all this about only go to A&E when absolutely necessary why can't someone do this.
She has asked her gp but the local commissioning board is cutting down on antibiotics, fair enough but she doesn't just want them, she needs them, says on the NHS website, can end up in hospital if you don't get treatment sooner rather than later.
Can anyone advise and about cellulitis in general , very little been told about the other effects of diabetes 2 ,, e.g more likely to get infections.
