Rheumatic arthritis can be cured

Rheumatoid arthritis is a connective tissue disease caused by streptococcal infection. If joint involvement is the main cause, it is called rheumatoid arthritis. At this stage, with the timely treatment of streptococcal infection, the incidence of rheumatoid arthritis has become lower and lower, and sometimes it is not typical. However, once the diagnosis is /confirm/ied, the patient should first clear the streptococcal infection focus, and at the same time apply aspirin and other drugs to fight rheumatism. Most patients can completely disappear without any sequelae after timely treatment. However, attention must be paid to the prevention of streptococcal reinfection. It is generally necessary to apply benzathine penicillin, which is a long-acting penicillin for prevention. The specific prevention time should be determined according to the patient's onset and age. In addition, pay attention to whether there is heart damage during the course of the disease.
