Infections are treated in a variety of ways, with the aim of eliminating pathogens, mitigating symptoms, promoting rehabilitation and preventing further spread of infection.
I. General treatment and care
Rest and nutrition: During an infection, the patient should rest fully to avoid overwork, while ensuring adequate nutritional intake, in particular high-heat, digestible food, in order to maintain basic physical needs and promote recovery.
Hydraulic supplementation: Maintaining sufficient hydro-ingestion helps to promote metabolism and accelerate the discharge of internal toxins, while also helping to maintain hydrolysis balance.
Local care: For local infections, such as skin or wound infections, local cleanness and dryness should be maintained to avoid spread. When necessary, appropriate disinfectants or ointment can be used for treatment.
II. Drug treatment
Antibiotic treatment: Antibiotics are an effective treatment for bacterial infections. Antibiotics combat infection by inhibiting bacteria from growing or killing bacteria. However, the choice and use of antibiotics should be guided by a doctor and avoid abuse and misuse. Common antibiotics include penicillin, headgillin, etc., the specific use of which is determined on the basis of the condition and the sensitivity of the pathogens.
Antiviral treatment: Antiviral drugs are the preferred treatment for viral infections such as influenza and hepatitis B. These drugs can interfere with the replicability of the virus, thereby reducing its number in the body. For example, antiviral drugs such as Libaverin can be administered through oral or intravenous injections, with specific doses adjusted to the condition.
Immuno-regulating treatment: Immuno-regulating agents can enhance or inhibit the immune response of the body to control the infection. Such drugs are often used for infections caused by self-immunological diseases or as complementary treatment when other treatments are ineffective. For example, immuno-regulating agents such as cyclophosphorus amide can be used as oral tablets or injectable fluids, but when used, the haematological parameters of the patient are monitored.
III. Surgery
In some cases, the infection may require surgical treatment. For example, when the body accumulates liquids or depraved tissues, they can be removed from the outside by surgery to facilitate healing. Common operations include abdominal perforation and pleural perforation. In addition, some serious infections, such as sepsis formation or tissue failure, may require surgery to create or remove the dead tissue.
IV. Physicotherapy and Chinese medicine
Physicotherapy: Physiotherapy, such as heat dressing, cold dressing, etc., helps to mitigate the symptoms of infection-induced discomfort, such as pain, swelling, etc. At the same time, physiotherapy promotes local blood circulation and accelerates the decline of inflammation.
Medical treatment in China: The treatment of infection in Chinese medicine is usually combined with the use of Chinese in-medicine and external medicine. The Chinese medicine has the effect of symphyxiating, biosemosis, etc., and can improve the environment in which the infection is occurring, contribute to the reduction of inflammation and the rehabilitation of the organization. In addition, Chinese medical treatments such as acupuncture and canning help to mitigate the symptoms of infection.
V. Psychotherapy and support
In addition to causing physical damage to the patient, infection can have a negative psychological impact. Psychotherapy and support are therefore equally important in the treatment of infection. Doctors should take care of the patient ‘ s psychological state, provide timely psychological guidance and support, and help the patient build confidence in overcoming the disease.
In the light of the above, the treatment of infection requires an integrated approach that takes into account the specific circumstances and type of infection of the patient. In the course of treatment, patients should be guided by a doctor, take medication on time, review regularly and maintain good habits and mentalities. At the same time, society should strengthen the prevention and control of infection and promote awareness and self-protection.
