Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
He should take absolute bed rest to avoid vertebra collapse.

Diet should be high protein with high antioxidents.
Complication include abcess formation,paraplegia,bladder incontinence.
For preventing complication regular 1 month check up and rest is very important

He will check clinically regarding any persistent infection.
We advise blood investigation like Complete blood count, ESR, CRP, 3 phase bone scan. And if required MRI again .

Depending on state of infection medications can be given in form of antibiotic, or if required debridement can be done.

I will advise you to improve your immunity to combat against osteomyelitis by high protein food, and some herbal immunity boosters.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
