Patient's question:
Your colleague's child is now 3 years old, but has inherited ankylosing spondylitis through intergenerational transmission, with worsening motor function and joint discomfort. The desired help: How to treat ankylosing spondylitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Children with ankylosing spondylitis often feel stiffness and discomfort in their back when getting into bed in the morning. Symptoms of morning stiffness or pain may reappear after prolonged lying down or sitting. During the chronic phase, symptoms generally include low-grade fever, significant weight loss, increased fatigue, localized muscle atrophy, and severe symptoms affecting peripheral large joints and axial joints. Although ankylosing spondylitis is considered a chronic condition, it is not a "terminal illness." Medical clinical diagnostic reports and recovery cases confirm that with scientific, professional, and standardized treatment before joint fusion occurs, the condition can be completely controlled.
