Cold compresses can help reduce swelling in the area. Cooling also helps to numb sharp pain. Apply an ice pack for up to 20 minutes, up to five times a day. Use a frozen gel pack, ice cubes in a plastic bag, or a bag of frozen peas. Wrap the cold pack in a soft towel. Do not apply a cold pack directly to skin.
Heat therapy
heat helps to relax tense muscles and soothe a stiff area. It can help with muscle pain and bonny pain. Use a heated gel pack, heating pad or a hot water bottle.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Sulfasalazine won't start to work immediately, and it could be at least 12 weeks before you notice any effects. You shouldn't take sulfasalazine if you're known to have an allergy to salicylates. Salicylate is a natural chemical that is found in some foods.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Windswept knees refer to the appearance of a bilateral knee joint deformity where one knee is in valgus and the other is in varus. The name describes the position of the knees if the wind blew across the legs of a patient, causing this evocatively-named appearance.

A dominantly inherited disorder means you only need to inherit the mutated gene from one parent to be affected. This means that if you have a child with an unaffected partner, there's still a 50% chance of your child developing the condition.
However, there are some medications in homoeopathy that may reduce the risk and help. You may reach us with the details of the mother and kids to get the best help possible.
