Osteomyelitis Treatment in Homeopathy

Primary Symptoms

Symptoms and Signs of Osteomyelitis Include

  1. Fatigue
  2. Fever
  3. Pain in an infected area
  4. Redness and swelling over the infected area

There are cases where osteomyelitis doesn’t show symptoms, and it becomes hard to differentiate the disease from other related health issues. Older adults and infants generally remain asymptomatic, and therefore it becomes hard to diagnose. Patients can search for healthcare professionals for the treatment of osteomyelitis when they feel severe pain in the bone.

Major Complications of Osteomyelitis

Septic Arthritis:  It occurs when the bone infection spreads to a nearby joint.

Skin Cancer: If osteomyelitis appears in the form of open sore with draining pus, then surrounding skin is more likely to develop squamous cell cancer.

Bone Death: Bone infection interferes with blood circulation in a bone that leads to bone death.  Areas surrounding died bone need to be removed surgically to make antibiotics effective.

Impaired Growth: In children, the average growth of joints and bones gets affected if osteomyelitis appears in softer areas that are called growth plates at both ends of long bones such as legs and arms.

Diagnosis

Doctors first analyze the symptoms with a gentle touch and feel if there is any tenderness, warmth, and swelling. In case, the patient is suffering from foot ulcer, doctor use probe to know the proximity of the bone beneath the skin. Doctors recommend a combination of tests to diagnose osteomyelitis, including diagnosis of germ responsible for causing the infection.

Blood Tests: Blood tests reflect increased WBC (White Blood Cells) count that helps to determine whether your immune system fights against infection or not.

Imaging Tests:  X-ray, Computerized Tomography (CT scan), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging are recommended tests to diagnose osteomyelitis thoroughly. X-rays help to detect damage that occurred to the bone while MRI provides a clearer picture of the bone and surrounding tissues or cells. CT scan is preferred in cases where the patient doesn’t have an MRI.
