What Is a Bone Infection?
8. Prevention
Any infection has the potential to develop into something serious, no matter how small it might be. This means that you should take precautions when you pick up cuts and scratches. To help prevent infections from developing, any wound should be kept clean and covered. If the wound does become infected then speak with a doctor as soon as you can.
People that have recently undergone surgery are also at a higher risk, and antibiotics will often be prescribed to help prevent any infections occurring. People that have had an organ transplant are at particular risk because they are likely to be given medication that will suppress their immune system.
