Treatment of Orbital Cellulitis
Antibiotics Surgery People with orbital cellulitis are typically admitted to the hospital. Antibiotics are started as soon as possible, before the results of the laboratory testing are known. Antibiotics are given by vein. The antibiotic used at first may be changed if the culture results suggest that another antibiotic would be more effective. Sometimes surgery is needed if vision is impaired, to drain a collection of pus (abscess) or an infected nasal sinus, to remove a foreign body, or to help treat the infection if antibiotics alone are not effective.
