Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling discomfort in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. How is bacterial endocarditis treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of bacterial endocarditis typically involves selecting appropriate antibiotics such as gentamicin, vancomycin, oxacillin, etc. If drug treatment cannot effectively alleviate symptoms, surgical intervention is required. Additionally, for patients with bacterial endocarditis, the diet should be based on light and nutritious foods, with high calories, high protein, high vitamins, and high fiber. Avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods to prevent bowel movements. Also, avoid drinking strong tea or coffee.
