Patient's question:
What changes will occur in the face due to sepsis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, sepsis patients may experience fever again, and during fever, they may show symptoms such as flushed face and dry lips. Generally, there is not much fluctuation in these symptoms. Sepsis is primarily caused by bacterial infection entering the bloodstream, leading to a systemic infection. Therefore, active anti-inflammatory measures should be taken to alleviate it. Sometimes, two anti-inflammatory drugs may need to be used in combination for relief. Blood culture can be performed first to check for additional bacteria, so that targeted treatment can be administered.
