Surgical treatment: Surgical methods of puncture or suction should be chosen, and attention should be paid to strict aseptic operation. 2. Medication: Oral medication can be taken to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as Duiyiwei capsule and Longxuancang capsule, which can promote local blood circulation and improve the absorption speed of joint fluid. If infection occurs, antibiotics are needed. In addition, you can also take some anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve pain, such as nimesulide, ibuprofen and other non-steroidal drugs. 3.
