How to treat rheumatic fever in 3-year-olds?

Patient's question:

I would like to inquire about it. Feeling mentally unwell and physically weak, how to treat rheumatic fever at the age of 3?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. The condition you mentioned should be considered caused by streptococcal infection. It is mainly treated through anti-infection and anti-rheumatic therapies to prevent the disease from occurring. Additional treatment is given to those with heart problems. Taking aspirin and other salicylate preparations, as well as intravenous penicillin and other medications, yields good results. Erythromycin can be used for those allergic to penicillin. Hormone therapy may be used when necessary. Pay attention to rest, enhance care, and adjust clothing according to weather changes to prevent catching colds.
