Currently, it is believed that there is no cure for iatrogenic rheumatism, and treatment is based on relieving symptoms and minimizing recurrences. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be used for anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment during flare-ups, and anti-malarials such as hydroxychloroquine can be used to prevent flare-ups between flare-ups.
Recurrent rheumatism, also known as relapsing rheumatism, is characterized by recurrent inflammation of the joints and periarticular joints. During the attack, there is no obvious cause for the sudden onset of generalized swelling and pain in multiple joints, and the pain in the affected joints is obvious, and the pain usually disappears within 1~3 days.
The pain usually disappears within 1~3 days. There may be no symptoms between attacks, and the attacks seldom cause joint damage and joint disorders. Some of the patients with gyriform rheumatism may be transformed into rheumatoid arthritis with the development of the disease. Therefore, timely treatment is very important.
At present, it is believed that the ileus type rheumatism cannot be cured. During the attack, the treatment mainly focuses on relieving the pain, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as diclofenac and celecoxib can be used, and glucocorticosteroid drugs such as prednisone can be added to the treatment if the pain is severe. Antimalarial drugs such as hydroxychloroquine can be used to prevent flares and slow down the frequency of flares during the inter-episode period.
It is recommended that the patients with gyriform rheumatism go to the rheumatology and immunology department of regular hospitals for timely consultation and standardized diagnosis and treatment according to the doctor’s instructions, and do not use medication on their own.
