Patient's question:
Because of rheumatic fever, I have been getting injections for 29 days and it hasn't gotten better. I want to ask if I can still get injections after 29 days for rheumatic fever?Doctor's answer:
Rheumatic fever is generally caused by a streptococcal infection, particularly affecting the upper respiratory tract. It tends to recur multiple times. From a clinical diagnostic perspective, treatment typically involves the following aspects: First, antibiotics such as long-acting penicillin. Second, the use of cephalosporin-class medications or the selection of corticosteroids.
