How Can Sepsis Be Treated?

My girlfriend had 1st cemo treatment for breast caner at OSU. She has been in the hospital for 5 days now with blood infection. When she is released she has to return to hospital 2 times a day for 10 days for antibiotic treatments? Thank you, Angela

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

For sepsis, do incision and drainage of local site if possible and send sample for culture, otherwise do blood culture.

As per the culture report, start antibiotics after consultation. Continue and complete antibiotic course, take tablet Chymoral forte after consultation. Apply Neosporin H powder locally and keep it clean.

I will suggest you to follow up with detailed history or consult with surgeon for detailed examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
