Rheumatoid arthritis does not have a recovery period, generally known as the acute exacerbation and remission period. The time from acute exacerbation to remission should be based on factors such as disease control, review results and clinical symptoms, and cannot be generalized. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic systemic disease mainly characterized by inflammatory synovitis, the etiology of which is unknown and requires systemic treatment. The disease usually enters into remission in 1~6 months, but due to individual differences, the time to enter remission may be longer, which requires the use of anti-rheumatic palliative drugs such as methotrexate, leflunomide, etc. If the disease is stabilized, it will take 2~3 months to enter into remission. If the condition is stabilized, patients need to go to the hospital once every two to three months for a follow-up examination to observe the degree of control of the condition and to adjust the medication. Patients should pay attention to keep warm, avoid cold and contact with cold water. Rheumatoid arthritis patients are advised to consult the rheumatology and immunology department in a timely manner, actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, and review on time.
