Patient's question:
I am 53 years old. Recently, as I have gotten older, I have been experiencing leg pain. I have previously visited the immunology department, but the effect was not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. What medicine should be used for oral ulcers caused by connective tissue disease?Doctor's answer:
Connective tissue diseases can lead to oral ulcers, requiring the use of anti-autoimmune drugs for treatment. Corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or biologic agents can be used for treatment. Since connective tissue diseases are autoimmune disorders, they occur when the body encounters external or internal antigens, leading to the production of autoantibodies that cause immune damage to normal cells and tissues, resulting in connective tissue inflammation.
