How does child rheumatoid arthritis do?

summary

Children's systemic rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common disease in children. It is usually characterized by fever, joint swelling and pain. In the long run, it may lead to deformity of children's joints. Because children's body immune mechanism has not yet been fully developed, if systemic RA is not cured in time, It can also induce anemia and hepatosplenomegaly in infants. So, how should children with systemic rheumatoid arthritis do? Let's share my experience with you.

How does child rheumatoid arthritis do?

Children are the treasure of every parent, so what should be done when children with systemic rheumatoid arthritis appear? First of all, we should make clear which type of children's systemic rheumatoid arthritis belongs to, and then symptomatic treatment. Generally speaking, there are three types of children's systemic rheumatoid arthritis: systemic type, multiple joint type and single joint type.

Secondly, parents should have a certain understanding of the principles of treating children's systemic rheumatoid arthritis. Generally speaking, the primary purpose of treating children's systemic rheumatoid arthritis is anti-inflammatory. Some anti-inflammatory drugs (such as naproxen, indomethacin, etc.) can be selected during the treatment. If there is no effect after taking anti-inflammatory drugs, hydroxychloroquine and indomethacin can be added appropriately Penicillamine and other drugs were used as adjuvant therapy.

Finally, parents should pay attention to the diagnosis of children's systemic rheumatoid arthritis. Because children's systemic diseases often appear, especially when children have fever symptoms, many parents will not think of the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis at the first time, and easily consider whether children have a fever or a cold. Therefore, it is easy to misdiagnose children, thus delaying the treatment opportunity.
