hang in there, my dear (Laura ?). It must be awful as we are helpless to help. Poor mum. Hope as her pain abates , she will be calmer. Hugs
It`s the infection @Fran’sdaughter that is causing this reaction. Fingers crossed once the infection is cleared your mum will be much better.
Welcome to the forum. I hope you will get some comfort from the community while your mum is so poorly.

I can empathise with there. My mum passed away some years ago now but she too suffered from cellulitis. It was awful. She was hospitalised on a couple of occasions when she changed from being a mild mannered person to being quite aggressive. She had to have intravenous antibiotics and things began to settle down again.
I do hope your mum's infection clears up quickly. Keep posting here for support.
