Question
Recently, there have been recurrent episodes of fever, rash, and abdominal distension, with gradual weight loss and decreased resistance. A hospital examination revealed an abnormally high white blood cell count, and the doctor suspects it to be sepsis, with severe symptoms. What are the treatment methods for sepsis?
Answer
The focus of sepsis treatment is on the use of appropriate antibiotics. Choosing the right antibiotic is crucial for successful treatment. It is recommended to perform a blood culture before starting antibiotics to identify the pathogen. Antibiotics sensitive to the pathogen should be used for treatment to achieve better effects. Additionally, treating sepsis also involves preventing the cause and infection source. Specific treatment plans should be consulted with local hospital departments. In daily life, it is important to avoid injuries to prevent infections.
