In modern life, people's joint problems are very prominent, which has brought great harm to the health of many people, caused various problems, and brought great pain to people. Among them, joint problems such as rheumatic fever are the most popular, causing people great pain. Let's take a look at the 5 main manifestations of rheumatic fever. I hope everyone can understand and find the correct solution.

1. Arthritis is a common symptom of rheumatic fever. The knees, ankles, elbows, wrists and other joints will have redness, swelling, burning and pain. The joints will be difficult to move. The pain will also migrate to other joints and last for different periods of time. Sometimes several joints will be affected at the same time.

2. Carditis is the main manifestation of rheumatic fever in children. Acute rheumatic fever is more common in children and may be accompanied by myocarditis, endocarditis, pericarditis or pancarditis.

3. In the later stage of rheumatic fever treatment, annular erythema will appear on the body and limbs. It is light red with some raised spots, painless and itchy. It will reappear after subsiding and will last for several months.

4. Patients with rheumatic fever will have symptoms of subcutaneous nodules, but they are relatively rare. Hard and painless nodules may appear alone or in several parts of the body, mostly in the joints. The surface is not red. The appearance of subcutaneous nodules often indicates severe myocarditis.

5. Involvement of the extrapyramidal system can lead to the appearance of chorea symptoms, which also appear in the later stages of rheumatic fever. It is accompanied by involuntary movements of the facial muscles and limbs and emotional instability, such as frowning, sticking out the tongue, blinking, shaking the head, and turning the neck, which are irregular alternating movements and keep one in an excited state all day long.

Rheumatic fever is a very serious disease. It is relatively stubborn and recurrent. It must be treated in time, otherwise it will be life-threatening. Pay attention to keeping warm at ordinary times, especially teenagers and children. Parents should pay attention to adding clothes to prevent the invasion of cold and dampness and cause diseases. If you feel uncomfortable in your heart, it is best to rest in bed and do not over-exercise or overwork. If the joint function is affected by rheumatic fever, it is best to exercise properly to prevent muscle atrophy.
