Answer

Hello, treatment for osteomyelitis can include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory pain relievers like ibuprofen, or the use of diethylamine diclofenac gel. Additionally, combining with blood circulation and blood stasis herbs such as Compound Danshen Tablets and improve blood circulation (Chinese medicine) can also aid in treatment. Furthermore, physical therapy like massage, acupuncture, and physiotherapy, as well as using a heat lamp or applying hot salt cold compresses can effectively alleviate symptoms.
