Osteomyelitis is a serious infection of the bone, usually caused by bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus. It can occur due to open fractures, surgery, or infections spreading from nearby tissues or the bloodstream. Symptoms often include pain, swelling, redness, and fever. While antibiotics and surgery are standard treatments, many people seek natural remedies for osteomyelitis to complement conventional care or as part of a holistic approach.
