Preventing Sepsis
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when an infection sets off a chain reaction throughout the body. Every year, millions of people die from sepsis and it is a leading cause of death in children under five years old.
Early diagnosis and treatment is essential to preventing sepsis from becoming a serious health condition. Here are a few things you can do to help prevent sepsis, such as:
1. Practice washing your hands regularly and thoroughly.
2. Avoid close contact with people who are sick, and if you do come in contact, wash your hands.
3. Seek medical treatment for any infection.
4. Be aware of the signs and symptoms of sepsis, and if they occur, please seek medical help immediately.
