How to treat early rheumatic disease

The treatment of early rheumatic diseases is more complex. This is because rheumatism does not refer to a particular disease, but is a general term for a large group of diseases. There are many different types of rheumatic diseases, and each disease has different clinical symptoms, so early treatment varies widely. Commonly used treatment includes life intervention, drug therapy and local physical therapy. I. Life intervention: Gout or hyperuricemia are metabolic rheumatic diseases. These people sometimes do not need medication in the early stage, but some lifestyle interventions, such as paying attention to rest, avoiding exertion and emotional excitement. Patients in the chronic stage with stable disease can do appropriate activities and physical exercise to control gout attacks. Second, drug therapy: 1, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: for some age-related degenerative osteoarthritis, some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be given to control symptoms, to achieve the effect of antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic, to delay the progress of the disease; 2, immunosuppressants: for rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and other diffuse connective tissue diseases with systemic organ involvement, often using glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants To relieve symptoms; 3, antibiotics: for rheumatoid arthritis or rheumatic heart disease, antibiotics such as penicillin treatment can be given. Third, local physical therapy: If rheumatism patients have obvious pain symptoms, local heat therapy, such as paraffin therapy, can be used to reduce pain. Infrared light, ultra-short wave, etc. can also be applied to increase local blood circulation to promote the inflammation and swelling to subside. Fourth, other treatments: for some heavy patients, plasma exchange, biological agents and other treatments can also be applied. Therefore, for rheumatic diseases, the first thing should be clear for which rheumatic disease, and then choose different treatment means according to the disease. Most rheumatic diseases cannot be completely cured clinically, even in the early stage of the disease, still need long-term drug treatment as well as clinical observation, so patients should not stop the drugs at will to avoid aggravating the disease.
