Rheumatism Follow-up in Children

What is Rheumatism Follow-up?

Rheumatism follow-up is a process that aims to regularly monitor and control chronic rheumatic diseases affecting the muscular and joint system in children. This monitoring helps to prevent symptoms such as inflammation, pain, swelling and deformation of the joints, while protecting the overall health of the child.

How to Monitor Rheumatism?

As Metropol Health Group, we carry out a comprehensive follow-up process in children’s rheumatic disorders:

• Detailed Examination and Tests: The effects of the disease are evaluated in detail using physical examination, blood tests and imaging methods such as X-rays.
• Individualized Treatment Plan: Individualized treatment plans are created in line with the health status and needs of each child.
• Regular Monitoring: Treatment plans are regularly updated according to the course of the disease and the patient’s condition is closely monitored.

What are the Symptoms of Rheumatism?

• Pain, swelling and warmth in the joints
• Limitation of movement and stiffness in the joints in the morning
• Muscle weakness
• Constant fatigue and weakness
• Symptoms of deformity or deformation of the joints

Treatment Methods for Rheumatism

1. Medication
   Anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids and immunomodulators are prescribed to control rheumatic symptoms and reduce inflammation.
