summary

Recently, I'm afraid of cold, and I feel very uncomfortable all over. Especially when I walk, I feel that the position of the foot joint is burning and painful, and there is edema in the knee position. The doctor says it's rheumatoid disease. Now let's talk about the best treatment for rheumatoid arthritis.

What is the best treatment for rheumatoid arthritis

First: drug therapy is generally used for treatment. Commonly used drugs include ibuprofen, indomethacin, penicillamine, chloroquine, levamisole, adrenal cortical hormone, etc. appropriate physical therapy, such as ultraviolet radiation, can also be used. If the above treatment effect is not good, surgical treatment can only be selected.

Second: non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): the main functions of these drugs are antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing inflammatory reaction and pain. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) was the earliest, and it is still an effective drug for the treatment of acute rheumatic fever and rheumatoid arthritis.

Third: after two weeks of improvement, we should gradually increase activities, so as to avoid too long bed rest leading to joint disuse, and even promote joint ankylosis. The protein and vitamins in the diet should be sufficient. Those with significant anemia can be given a small amount of blood transfusion. If there are chronic lesions such as tonsillitis, they should be removed as soon as possible.

matters needing attention

If the nutrition and energy of the diet of patients with rheumatoid arthritis can not meet the needs of the body, then not only the drugs can not play a therapeutic role, but also the disease will further deteriorate, so diet is very important for patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
