It's really hard to say what triggers lupus, but many do believe there is an environmental trigger which could be viral or bacterial infection. The longer your symptoms linger following hopefully successful treatment of your cellulitis infection, then it will become more important to be tested for lupus/autoimmune disease given your family history and some symptoms consistent with lupus. Some of your symptoms could be side effects from all those strong antibiotics too (the redness on the face could be due to the photosensitizing effect of some antibiotics for instance)... it's really hard to say.
The good news is that you are aware of lupus, and will undoubtedly stand up for yourself to get some basic bloodtests for lupus if these problems continue past when the cellulitis is cured and you are off antibiotics.
Good luck with everything and I hope you'll update us as time unfolds!
