How to treat osteomyelitis

Patients with osteomyelitis are mainly treated with medication or surgery, which must be judged based on factors such as the type and degree of osteomyelitis. If patients develop osteomyelitis, they should choose sufficient doses of targeted antibiotics, which can control infection and reduce inflammation. For patients with obvious local symptoms, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be considered to relieve symptoms. For very serious diseases, especially local abscess formation or chronic osteomyelitis, which cannot be completely cured with antibiotics alone, surgical methods are usually chosen, including sequestration, bone grafting, local drainage, etc. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to the overall nutritional status and use systemic support and other methods to prevent the aggravation of the disease.
