Answer
Hello, rheumatoid arthritis is a relatively stubborn and recurrent condition, but the main goal is to control it, prevent further progression, and relieve pain. Your child is currently in the acute phase of development and requires symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), immunosuppressants, and other treatments such as tripterygium. It is best to be hospitalized for observation and treatment for a period of time until the condition stabilizes before controlling the disease through medication at home.
