What are some effective treatments for rheumatoid arthritis?

The epidemics referred to in today's society are no longer limited to the common cold. Common diseases among the general population have also become epidemics with a high incidence rate. For example, arthritis, especially rheumatoid arthritis, has a higher incidence rate among middle-aged and elderly people. Its causes are very complex and diverse, so its treatment is more complicated.

Patients will have fever and obvious joint swelling and pain in the early stages of the disease. They should emphasize bed rest, strengthen nutrition, supplement with adequate fluids and multiple vitamins, maintain a happy spirit, and get enough sleep.

Drug treatment: Aspirin has a rapid and miraculous effect on rheumatoid arthritis. The dosage is 0.9-1.2 grams each time, 3 times a day, after meals. To reduce the irritation of the drug to the stomach, you can crush the tablet and swallow it. The course of treatment is 4-6 weeks. During the medication process, the prothrombin time and transaminase should be checked regularly. If there is a bleeding tendency, vitamin K can be added. Those who cannot tolerate aspirin can choose Voltaren, 25-50 mg, 3 times a day, or naproxen, 0.375 g, 2 times a day, or other non-hormonal anti-inflammatory drugs.

In order to eliminate the effects of streptococcal infection, it is recommended to use 800,000 units of penicillin in the early stage of the disease, intramuscularly, 2-3 times a day, for a course of 10-14 days. For those who are allergic to penicillin, erythromycin or acetylspiramycin can be used instead.

Some patients have spent a long time trying to cure their disease without any cure, so they begin to believe in some folk remedies and folk prescriptions. This gives many scammers the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and make a fortune. So you must not rush to seek medical treatment when you are sick. You must keep your eyes open, don't be easily deceived, trust the doctor, and cooperate with the doctor's active treatment.
