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 can I relieve rheumatism?Doctor's answer:
Once rheumatic fever is diagnosed, timely relief is crucial. Rheumatic fever can be alleviated from the following four aspects, usually yielding good results. First, completely eliminate the focus of streptococcal infection. Most cases of rheumatic fever are caused by streptococcal infection, and sensitive antibiotics such as penicillin can be used, while noting allergic contraindications. Second, closely monitor heart inflammation in the early stages. This is the most vulnerable part of rheumatic fever, which is also known as rheumatic heart disease. Third, control congestive heart failure, paying close attention to monitoring, and promptly addressing any signs of heart failure. Fourth, alleviate joint and other symptoms, with clinical diagnosis often adopting personalized solutions.
