Patient's question:
My older sister's son had a fever the day before yesterday, and when we took him to the doctor, he was diagnosed with rheumatic fever. What is rheumatic fever? My baby is one year old this year, and I'm quite worried that he might get this disease. Can rheumatic fever be treated? And is there a way to prevent rheumatic fever?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the earlier the treatment for rheumatic fever, the better. People who have had rheumatic fever or rheumatic heart disease should adhere to long-term medication under the guidance of a doctor. The conventional method is to inject long-acting penicillin every 3 to 4 weeks, which generally prevents the recurrence of rheumatic fever. Early intervention can cure this disease.There are many causes of pediatric rheumatic immune diseases. If a child is diagnosed with pediatric rheumatic immune disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and maintain a balanced diet.
