Hello Welcome to Chat Doctor. Lung consolidation means infection of Telugu and sepsis means invasion of blood with bacteria. Since the bacteria comes into the blood, it spreads to other organs and can cause urine tract infections., brain and other main organs. This causes the Chat Doctor.  The treatment is iv fluids to raise the pressure, and to start on BP increasing medications which are given intravenously. Also, intravenous broad spectrum antibiotics should be added. Blood culture, urine culture and sputum culture should be done. The culture will help identify the organism causing the infection and also show the antibiotics that are effective against it. Diuretics should be given to increase the urine output and must be closely monitored.  If organism cannot be identified by culture and the patient is not able to bring out cough, then a Bronchoscopy must be done which involves inserting a small tube witChatDoctorera at its tip through the nose into the airways and take samples from the area affected. This sample can be sent for culture. Antibiotics can be modified according to the culture reports. The infection may also affect the functions of the kidney and cause kidney issues. The outcome is hard to comment on, and the recovery may take hospitalization up to 10 days and rest till one month. Wishing her good health Regards.
