My question is the minute he got the 2 nd unit they had to stop as his blood pressure started dropping and after that he started talking rubbish It effected his memory Whichwas perfect before he went n They also picked up in blood test hegot sepsis after the blood We are sickens out of our minds and afraid of loosing him What is the best treatment to get rid of this sepsis Thanks for your help

Hello,my name is dr.Dorina Gurabardhi.I understand your concern.
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition in which the body is fighting a severe infection that has spread via the bloodstream.
Sepsis is a medical emergency.
If a person has sepsis, treatment is usually given in the hospital and often in an intensive care unit so I highly suggest you to go to a hospital.
Hope my answer was helpful.If you have any other question Ill be glad to help.
Regards,
dr.Dorina Gurabardhi
