With severe sepsis, you need to be in a hospital where you can get diagnosed as to what is causing the sepsis...then get hooked up to an IV of the proper antibiotic. Sometimes, you may be allowed to go home and complete the treatment after you are stabilized and if you have someone who can help with IV maintenance/administration. Sepsis is extremely life threatening.
