What are the treatments for rheumatoid joint pain?

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease with erosive and symmetrical polyarthritis as the main clinical manifestation. Its treatment mainly includes general treatment and drug therapy.

1. General treatment

1. Daily care: Patients should pay attention to rest, avoid overwork and cold, and should properly carry out exercise, such as walking, tai chi, etc., which will help improve symptoms.

2. Dietary conditioning: It is recommended that patients pay attention to maintaining balanced nutrition, and can eat foods rich in protein, vitamins and other nutrients in moderation, such as eggs, tomatoes, etc., which will help supplement the nutrients required by the body and enhance resistance.

2. Medication

For patients with milder disease, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, such as ibuprofen extended-release capsules, diclofenac sodium extended-release tablets, etc., which can play a role in relieving pain. If the patient's condition is more severe, it is necessary to take glucocorticoids as prescribed for treatment, such as dexamethasone tablets, prednisolone acetate tablets, etc., which can control inflammation. In addition, some patients can also be treated with methotrexate tablets, leflunomide tablets and other drugs according to the doctor's instructions.

The above drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor, and should not be blindly self-medicated to avoid adverse reactions. If there is obvious discomfort during the period, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the condition.
