Question

How long does the treatment for osteomylitis take?

Answer

Osteomylitis is a common bone and joint disease in clinical practice, characterized by swelling or pain in the bones and joints. After catching a cold or suffering an injury, the patient’s pain symptoms may worsen. Generally speaking, the treatment for osteomylitis requires about 1 to 3 months. The treatment primarily focuses on protecting the affected joint, and it may be necessary to use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or traditional Chinese medicine to relieve symptoms.
