Patient's question:
A colleague's father was recently diagnosed with acute purulent myelitis. The doctor said it's best to undergo surgery, as if the condition worsens, he might become completely paralyzed. The whole family is very worried, but his father doesn't want to have surgery and wants to try medication first. So, he's asking, what kind of medicine is good for acute purulent myelitis?Doctor's answer:
Acute purulent spinal meningitis, if treated solely with medication, may yield relatively poor results and could potentially lead to collapse. It is recommended to opt for surgical treatment instead. Alternatively, cephalosporin antibiotics can be used, along with the appropriate use of hormones to complement the treatment. Bed rest should be the foundation of the treatment regimen during the course of therapy. If the pain is severe, nonsteroidal medications can be taken to promote blood circulation.
