What is Orbital Cellulitis – 10 Facts to Know

Antibiotics Treatment

Antibiotics are the first line of treatment for orbital cellulitis, a bacterial infection. The doctor often administers these medications intravenously. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are often used because they are more effective in fighting against many bacterial strains, especially Streptococcus and Staphylococcus. In most cases, you need to stay in the hospital during antibiotic treatment. The infection would spread quickly, so the doctor will have to monitor your condition carefully to prevent any complications. [5]
