Disease description:

I am a patient with synovitis, and I always pay special attention to keeping warm in daily life. Regarding diet, I don't know which foods are beneficial for my condition, nor am I sure if there are any dietary restrictions for synovitis. So, are there any dietary禁忌 (taboos) for synovitis?

Patients with synovitis should pay attention to dietary restrictions. It is recommended that they avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as high-fat, high-calorie, fried, and barbecued foods, all of which are unfavorable for disease recovery. At the same time, patients should ensure adequate rest, and may use anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications to relieve pain. Heat application and physical therapy can also be beneficial in alleviating symptoms. If joint effusion is present, small amounts may be absorbed spontaneously, but active treatment is still recommended. Patients should also keep the affected area warm and avoid catching a cold.
