Question
A patient with osteomylitis asks how to treat this condition and wants to know which medications might be more effective.
Answer
Osteomylitis is a chronic membranous damage to the bone, caused by the expansion, congestion, edema, or subperiosteal hemorrhage, blood clot formation, periosteal hyperplasia, and inflammatory changes in the periosteum and its blood vessels. It can also be an infectious periosteal damage caused by purulent bacterial infection. Traditional Chinese medicine external medications and internal administration can relax tendons and activate blood circulation, reduce swelling and alleviate pain, promote blood circulation to dissipate stasis, dispel wind and coldness, and transmit through the skin to meridians, tendons, and bones, enhancing the body’s regulatory function. This leads to a rapid reduction in swelling and pain, promoting functional recovery, and achieving healing. If there are any unclear points, you can consult at any time. Wishing for a quick recovery!
