Patient's question:
About two weeks ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and he knew that he had chondritis. But I don't really understand what chondritis is, I just know it's something related to bones. So I want to consult here on how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Chondritis is a common painful disease, with costochondritis being the most prevalent form. The exact cause is unclear, but exposure to cold and overexertion often trigger its recurrence. In the early stages, appropriate rest, local physical therapy, and oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) treatment can help control the condition and alleviate pain symptoms. However, some patients may not respond well to these measures, and local isolation treatment can yield better outcomes.
