Patient's question:
My child recently suffered from the disease of myasthenia gravis. How long is the course of hormone treatment for myasthenia gravis? How is the rescue very painful?Doctor's answer:
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular junction abnormality disease. The current treatment primarily involves high-dose hormone therapy in the acute phase. When using hormone medication to treat myasthenia gravis, it is essential to carefully observe the patient's condition and recovery status. If swallowing difficulties reappear, the patient should be given a lot of light, easily digestible, and easily absorbed food. If the patient experiences gastrointestinal discomfort during this period, they can be given stomach-protecting tablets to prevent stomach damage. If the patient has difficulty breathing or restlessness, it is necessary to first calm their emotions. The patient should be adjusted in their diet, eating more easily digestible foods or drinking warm milk. During the treatment period, the patient should not be overexerted, as this may interfere with recovery.
