Acute rheumatic fever can be treated, but it leaves behind many sequelae including heart diseases. Has a doctor diagnosed you with rheumatic fever. It needs a panel of tests to diagnose. Similarly goes for rheumatoid arthritis. I would need to ask further history to assess the magnitude of the problem and to give suggestions accurately. Consult me, privately. Recommendations: 1) hot water fomentation and diclofenac 100 mg for back pain. 2) warm saline gargles.
