A blood infection (sepsis) is often treated with oral antibiotics, antifungals, or anthelminthic medication depending on the cause of infection. The cause of infection can be diagnosed by blood culture, and a culture and susceptibility test will help determine the best treatment of choice; all of which can be done at your primary care hospital.
