Patient's question:
Discovered right knee joint swelling, leg cannot straighten. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate is high, C-reactive protein is high. Everything else is normalDoctor's answer:
Hello, rheumatoid arthritis is a relatively stubborn and easily recurring disease, but the main goal is to control it and prevent further progression, as well as pain relief. Your child is currently in an acute phase and needs treatment with anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medications (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), immunosuppressants, Tripterygium glycosides, and so on. It is best to hospitalize for observation and treatment for a period of time until the condition stabilizes, and then take medication diligently to control it.
