Patient's question:
The child recently mentioned feeling unwell. I initially thought it was a cold and took her to see a doctor, but the doctor said it was rheumatic fever. I want to ask what to do if the child gets rheumatic fever? Can it be fully cured? After all, seeing the child in pain isn't easy on me either. What kind of medicine would be good to take?Doctor's answer:
The child has had a recurrence of rheumatic fever symptoms, which may be caused by a streptococcal infection reaction leading to rheumatic fever symptoms. It is necessary to use anti-inflammatory drugs promptly to treat and control the streptococcal infection. Pay attention to the child's body in daily life to prevent catching colds or getting chilled, etc., which is a good way to prevent the disease. After the streptococcal infection is controlled and improves, rheumatic fever can gradually stabilize. Don't be nervous.
