Patient's question:
In the past two years, it has been found that the child's little fingers on both hands are short, and the second joint of the little fingers on both hands is thick.Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by rheumatoid arthritis. The main treatment approach focuses on nourishing the liver and kidneys, replenishing qi and blood, and regulating the spleen and stomach, supplemented by clearing heat and toxicity, dispelling dampness and turbidity, removing blood stasis, resolving phlegm and turbidity, searching for wind and eliminating pathogens, and promoting the relief of joint pain. For tonifying the kidneys, herbs such as Chinese club moss, Aconite carthamoides, Formica alata, Eucommia ulmoides, and Cuscuta chinensis are primarily used.
