Question

What is osteomylitis?

Answer

Osteomylitis is a fibrous periosteal injury or infectious periosteal damage caused by the expansion, congestion, edema, or subperiosteal hemorrhage of the periosteum and periosteal blood vessels, as well as the organization of blood clots, periosteal hyperplasia, and inflammatory changes. It is recommended to use topical medications for treatment. Internal medications can be taken to relieve stiffness, activate blood circulation, reduce swelling and pain, promote blood circulation to dissipate stasis, and dispel wind and cold. The ointment can be taken internally, which has strong regional permeability. The drug molecules are absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin, directly reaching the affected area. It also transmits through the skin to meridians and tendons, stimulating the body’s regulatory function to promote complete recovery and achieve rapid healing.
