Will neonatal sepsis cause osteomyelitis?

Patient's question:

The newborn baby developed sepsis, which led to osteomyelitis, with symptoms appearing on the right calf... Later, it improved, but recently, a bruise-like bump appeared on the leg, causing pain when pressed. It's a soft, tender lump.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! His symptoms need to be determined as either those of a local abscess or knee bursitis. I suggest you take him to a regular large hospital for an orthopedic examination, including ultrasound or CT scans. After a clear diagnosis, cooperate with the doctor for treatment. The above targeted treatments are recommendations for "mucositis caused by neonatal sepsis." I hope this helps you, and wish you good health!
