What should I do if I get acute spinal cord inflammation?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. What should I do if I suffer from acute spinal cord inflammation?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the description, the patient has been diagnosed with acute osteomyelitis. Acute osteomyelitis is caused by bacterial infection of the bone marrow, with the most common bacteria being Staphylococcus aureus. The most likely sites for recurrence are the distal femur and the proximal tibia. If the patient's condition is mild, medication can be considered for treatment. Generally, antibiotics need to be effective until the body temperature returns to normal and symptoms disappear after about two weeks. If an abscess has formed, then a combination of medication and surgery is required for treatment.
