Question
How should osteomylitis be treated?
Answer
Osteomylitis can be initially treated with rigorous methods, utilizing anti-inflammatory and blood-activating medications, along with local cold compresses or physical therapy, which generally yield good results. At the same time, it is important to rest, avoid overexertion, prevent catching a cold, and limit walking. It is best to rest in bed. If the rigorous treatment is not effective, one should promptly visit a regular public hospital’s orthopedic department for a detailed examination, receive an accurate diagnosis, and then undergo surgical treatment based on the specialist’s assessment of the condition.
