Dear sir
The symptoms that you have mentioned alone will not cause septicemia..
Septiemia is caused by severe infection involving multiple tissues and organs. it is charectorised by cpassical symptoms like fever with chills and rigors.. inspite of all these th I e chances of septicemia is low
But control sugars properly and use proper antibiotics
Thanks
