Question
How should one deal with osteomylitis of the knee?
Answer
When osteomylitis of the knee occurs, it is important to first carefully observe if there is pain and swelling, and whether these symptoms affect walking ability. If pain and swelling are present, traditional Chinese medical treatments such as acupuncture sessions can be used, paired with moxibustion therapy. It is advised to continue these treatments for at least one week. At the same time, patients should avoid overexertion, ensure adequate rest, and take precautions against cold to prevent catching a chill.
