Dr. Lin Yunfei
Rheumatic febrile arthritis is a treatable condition, but it may not be curable. The outcome depends on the severity of the disease and the quality of future care. Rheumatic fever is a disease associated with streptococcal infection, characterized by transient redness, fever, and pain in some large joints. With effective treatment, patients can achieve complete recovery of joint function without residual deformities or disabilities. It is recommended to seek timely medical treatment at a hospital.
