Patient's question:
As one gets older, things don't go as smoothly. When I was young, I always thought I was particularly strong and often didn't take care of my health. In winter, I frequently washed things with cold water. Now I regret it. Whenever it's windy or rainy, my hands hurt so much that they won't straighten out. My son said he wants to take me to get treated, and I'd like to ask which hospital is good for rheumatism?Doctor's answer:
This issue suggests that the patient should go to a local Grade III-A hospital for a follow-up visit. The follow-up can be in the department of rheumatology and immunology. The recurrence of this disease is generally caused by a streptococcal infection, leading to an autoimmune response. The course of the disease is usually long-lasting and may not be easily curable. Based on the examination results, it is advisable to consult your attending physician. Generally, some blood-activating and anti-inflammatory drugs may be needed to alleviate the condition.
