There are a variety of medications available for treating swollen and painful joints. The cause of the swollen and painful joints should first be identified and then the right medication should be prescribed. If it is infectious arthritis, such as septic arthritis caused by various purulent bacteria, then a drug sensitivity test should be done and sensitive antibiotics should be selected for treatment. If the arthritis is caused by autoimmune reaction, such as rheumatoid and rheumatoid arthritis, then the main drugs used are mainly non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), combined with some cytotoxic drugs to control their own inflammation. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as celecoxib, erliximab, fenbendazole, fuselin tablets, and lorazepam are most commonly used, and need to be used with caution in those with a history of peptic ulcers and asthma. For chronic joint metabolic disorders, such as hyperplastic arthritis and aseptic inflammation caused by chronic joint degeneration, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are also the mainstay. If the pain is more pronounced, opioid receptor blockers, such as aminophenol hydrocodone and tramadol, can be added, but these drugs usually only have the effect of relieving pain rather than controlling aseptic inflammation. In addition to some proprietary Chinese medicines, topical medicines, including safflower oil and oil of ten thousand flowers, also play a role in activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Traditional Chinese medicines, such as Swelling Pain Capsules, Tongzhi Su Runjiang Capsules, Chasing Wind and Bone Capsules, and Strong Bone Capsules, contain some Chinese medicinal ingredients that can also control joint swelling and pain.
