Question
What are the treatment methods for osteomyelitis? Can it be cured?
Answer
The treatment methods for osteomyelitis include etiological treatment, rest, symptomatic treatment, physical therapy, and medication. For infectious osteomyelitis, anti-infection treatment is required. For sterile inflammation, treatment should be targeted at the specific cause. During the treatment period, rest should be maintained to avoid vigorous exercise and to alleviate symptoms. At the same time, medications can be used to eliminate regional swelling and edema, and auxiliary treatments such as blood circulation promotion can be administered. Physical therapy and medication treatment are also common auxiliary measures. Although the treatment effect varies from person to person, most patients can recover after proper treatment.
