Chronic osteomyelitis is also an inflammatory condition, with primary symptoms including pain and, in some cases, swelling. It is a potentially life-threatening disease; therefore, prompt treatment is essential. In clinical practice, antibiotic therapy is the mainstay of treatment. Patients should maintain a balanced diet, ensure adequate nutrition—particularly by consuming high-protein foods—and observe a proper balance between work and rest. Additionally, maintaining a positive mental outlook is important.
