Dr. Lin Yunfei
Bone tuberculosis abscesses are primarily treated with medication, though surgery may also be performed. Patients should take anti-tuberculosis drugs such as rifampicin capsules under a doctor's guidance. If significant pain occurs, medications like ibuprofen sustained-release capsules can be used. When necessary, surgical incision and drainage may be performed to prevent further progression of the disease.
