Patient's question:
I am a male. A few days ago, during a physical examination, I found out that I have periostitis. I am relatively unfamiliar with this condition and would like to know what causes it. Is it serious? What kind of medicine should be taken for periostitis? Are there any effective medications that you recommend? In addition, what else should I pay attention to in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Usually, if bursitis reappears, medication-wise, you can take many non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as meloxicam or ibuprofen capsules. Additionally, you can also take many Chinese herbal medicines that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as Taohong Siwu Decoction or Duyiwei Capsules. At the same time, you can also use many topical medications, such as applying Fufanglin ointment or Honghua oil, and using Huofan oil for massage.
