Patient's question:
I've been feeling joint pain all over my body recently. When I blow cold air, it gets worse, and I feel all over aches and have no strength. The hospital said it's postpartum rheumatism. I want to ask why I got postpartum rheumatism and what kind of help I can get: What is the cause of postpartum rheumatism?Doctor's answer:
Many postpartum women do not pay attention to preventing cold during the postpartum period. After catching a cold, rheumatoid arthritis symptoms may reappear, and the goal is to completely eliminate streptococcal infection, making penicillin the drug of choice. Rheumatoid arthritis aims to prevent joint destruction, protect joint function, and maximize the quality of life for patients. In terms of medication, slow-acting antirheumatic drugs should be used as early as possible. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be used during joint pain and swelling to control pain and other symptoms.
