It often happens that health begins to fail. This is especially noticeable in adults. But there are also such diseases that are terrible only for school-age children. It will be about rheumatism, symptoms, treatment of this disease.
To begin with, it would be necessary to understand what is rheumatism in principle? This
is a joint disease. A lot of adults with joint pain claim that they have rheumatism, but with absolute accuracy we can say that they are wrong. This is a very rare disease, and only teenagers get it. And even then, out of a thousand only one will get sick. The fact is that medicine has advanced very much over the past decades and this disease has become practically harmless. Unfortunately, it was not possible to completely get rid of the disease, and the chance to catch this “sore” still remained.
Going deep into scientific terms is not worth it, so let's move on to the most important thing. The most interested in the diagnosis of rheumatism symptoms, treatment of the disease.
The most common symptom is intoxication (headache, weakness, or fatigue). As mentioned above, this happens mainly with adolescents, less often with preschoolers, and very rarely with children under three years of age.
People over 16 have stronger immunity, and therefore can not be afraid. In addition to the named symptoms of rheumatism, 2-3 weeks after sore throat or pharyngitis, joint pain is detected. Very often, you may notice problems with the work of the heart or high fatigue.
Disease rheumatism also makes itself felt if an annular rash and rheumatic nodules appear . The first occurs only in 7-10% of patients. Red spots are visible on the skin, which disappear when touched.
The second is also extremely rare. In the area of large joints, processes appear that can exist there from a couple of days to two months. In addition, damage to internal organs is extremely rare - only with a very serious illness.
In general, many books and articles have been written about rheumatism, symptoms, and treatment. Each author rewrites what has already been written before him, so if you want to find a really good tool, then consult a doctor or Soviet literature.
The time has come to consider what therapy includes. Rheumatism is a rare disease, and, as a rule, healing from it is divided into three stages:
- continuation of rehabilitation in the local cardiorematological sanatorium;
- dispensary observation in the clinic.
The first stage is built in accordance with all the features of the patient. He is prescribed various herbs, medicines, exercises and much more. All this lasts from 1-2 months to 2 years.
If treatment is started in a timely manner, the result will be positive, and the patient will recover without any particular complications. In many ways, the outcome of treatment depends on the patient and doctors. It is unlikely to be able to cure such a complex disease at home, as you will have to find a treatment that is suitable for this particular patient.
You have learned a little about what rheumatism, symptoms, treatment of this disease are. It is quite rare, but as they say, once a year and the stick shoots. Be careful and everything will be fine.
