My daughter's doctor thinks she has juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. what should she do to cure it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is no cure: Unfortunately there is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis. There are continuing advancements in treatment. Medications considered disease modifying agents can made a big difference in the progression of the disease process. First make an appointment with a pediatric rheumatologist for the appropriate testing to see if your daughter truly has the disease. The rheumatologist will guide you further.
