I'd also test his blood sugar (when he is not consuming that sugar Gatorade). Fasting would be best.
There is a lot that can be done in the office, and going to the hospital is not always done anymore.
There are many many things ... one is that the cellulitis may move to the heart. The fact he had that recently would be something to look at, too.
I really do think he should go to the doctor. And you know I'd suggest that right?

Hi.
Well, this man is a stubborn case. And I had to change his shirt because he sweated it through. He said "I think I broke the fever". I said "Oh really??" well you need to get a blood test to rule out mono, thyroid, etc. etc.
He just said "No, I'll go when I'm feeling better"
so what else can I do??
People???? help
lol
