Nosocomial Infection - #17043
I recently had to stay in the hospital for a minor surgery, and while I was recovering, I started feeling much worse than I expected. At first, I thought it was just a normal part of recovery, but after a few days, I developed a high fever and intense body aches. I also started feeling very weak, and I was more fatigued than usual. My doctors said it could be a nosocomial infection, which is an infection that patients get while staying in the hospital. At first, I didn’t really understand what a nosocomial infection was, but the doctors explained that these infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi that are present in the hospital environment. After hearing that, I got even more concerned because it made me wonder how often these types of infections happen, especially when hospitals are supposed to be places where people go to get better, not worse. I’ve been prescribed antibiotics to treat the infection, but I’m wondering if there are ways to prevent these types of infections in the future, especially since I’ve heard that they can sometimes be very serious. I’m also looking into how I can boost my immune system naturally so that I can recover faster and avoid any further complications. I’ve been hearing a lot about Ayurvedic herbs and remedies that can help fight infections, so I wanted to ask if there are any specific herbs or practices in Ayurveda that might help prevent nosocomial infections. Has anyone else dealt with a nosocomial infection? How did you manage it, and what tips do you have for preventing infections during hospital stays?
