What should be noted in the treatment of large vessel vasculitis?

Patient's question:

I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. The hospital check-up revealed a blood-related issue. What should I pay attention to when treating giant cell arteritis?

Doctor's answer:

For giant cell arteritis, we need to use anti-inflammatory medications. Common medications include Amoxicillin-clavulanate Potassium dispersible tablets or Cefaclor Cell Repair Capsules, among others. If there is no improvement, we recommend going to the hospital for intravenous treatment. In this case, if it is in the acute phase, we may also need to use some hormone-based medications, such as Methylprednisolone Injection.
