Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor, Sepsis is a condition in which your body, in order to fight an infection, starts an inflammatory response throughout your body. This body response can harm your other organs like kidneys etc. In order to say if you have got sepsis, you must have 2 or 3 of the following symptoms-Fever 101 F or more-Heart rate greater than 90 a min-Respiratory rate greater than 20 a min-Probable infection Please take your antibiotics, Always do a culture and sensitivity test before starting antibiotics. Hope I have answered your question. WISH YOU BEST OF HEALTH!
