Whether or not synovitis of the knee requires hospitalization can be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, with mild symptoms requiring no hospitalization and severe symptoms requiring hospitalization.
If there is no significant swelling in the knee area, you can move around and the pain is mild, hospitalization is not required. Pay attention to keep warm, make the joint parts of the relaxation rest. Oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as meloxicam, clonoxicam, celecoxib and other medications can be taken to effectively relieve pain and reduce inflammation. All of the above medications should be used under doctor’s supervision, avoid self-medication.
If the joint swelling in the knee area is serious, affecting the function of movement, and the pain is more severe, hospitalization is required. During hospitalization, strict bed rest is required, and intravenous infusion of dehydrating anti-inflammatory drugs, such as dexamethasone injection, can be taken to relieve inflammation and edema. If the amount of fluid in the joint is relatively large, puncture surgery is needed to aspirate the fluid to improve the inflammation in the joint and speed up the recovery.
