Generally yes: Most cases resolve within a few weeks, although symptoms may occur for more than 6 months.Relapse may occur after tapering anti-inflammatory medications. Relapse is estimated to occur in 10-15% of patients. Most recurrences occur within 6 months of the initial surgery.

I hope so: Dressler's syndrome is typically treated with nsaids such as Aspirin or with corticosteroids.[9] however corticosteroids are reserved for rare cases and are seldom required.
