Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis treatment is difficult and not very good, because this disease is characterized by recurrent attacks. At present, the main clinical treatments are drug therapy, surgery, physical therapy and so on.
1. Drug therapy: the first choice in the treatment of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen and aspirin, which can reduce the inflammatory response and have the effect of relieving pain. Prednisone and dexamethasone can also be taken under doctor’s supervision to control systemic joint symptoms and reduce joint damage.
2. Surgery: If the child’s hip joint is severely deformed and he/she cannot live a normal life, he/she can choose hip replacement surgery when he/she reaches puberty.
3. Physical therapy: Phototherapy and electrotherapy can be applied directly to the painful joints to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in the treatment needs to be combined with specific clinical symptoms, it is generally recommended to pick a regular hospital treatment, do not blindly treatment, so as not to cause adverse effects.
