Pericarditis is inflammation of the visceral and parietal layers outside the heart.

This disease is very harmful to the human body, and the complications are radiation, uremic, and tumor pericarditis. So what is the specific treatment for this disease?

Treatment should be directed at the cause. For example, tuberculous cases must be treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs, and purulent cases should be treated with effective antibiotics. Treatment of pericarditis itself includes:

(1) General treatment: rest, pain relief, and taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs. For patients with severe chest pain, 30-40 mg/day of prednisone can be used, and the dosage can be gradually reduced after 5-7 days for 2-3 weeks. This can not only quickly improve symptoms, but also accelerate the absorption of new effusion.
