Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Cheng Yicheng
Patients with bone tuberculosis accompanied by abscesses can generally be identified externally. Because this condition is relatively severe and the abscesses tend to be large, they are often visibly apparent. Treatment may begin with oral anti-tuberculosis medications under a doctor's guidance, or may involve debridement surgery to help improve the condition. Proper self-care and daily hygiene are also important in managing the disease.
