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. How is rheumatic fever treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering it is rheumatoid arthritis, the current treatment principles for rheumatoid arthritis involve the use of corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and antipyretic and analgesic drugs. At the same time, it is essential to pay attention to protecting the joints and preventing exposure to cold. Additionally, acupuncture may also provide some relief. The diet should be light, with a reduction in spicy foods, and smoking and beer consumption should be avoided as much as possible.
