Ankylosing spondylitis has a hidden onset, slow progress and mild systemic symptoms. In the early stage, there are often lower back pain and stiffness in the morning, which can be relieved after activities, and can be accompanied by symptoms such as low fever, fatigue, anorexia, weight loss and so on. At the beginning, the pain was intermittent, and developed into continuous after several months and years. Later, the inflammatory pain disappeared, and the spine was partially or completely stiff from bottom to top, resulting in hunchback deformity. Female patients with peripheral joint invasion are more common, progress is slow, and spinal deformity is mild. However, the toxic and side effects of Western medicine in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis are common and difficult to solve. Most Western medicines are chemically synthesized, and the inherent toxic and side effects cannot be ruled out. In recent years, surgical treatment in the medical community is only to alleviate symptoms, and most patients can't afford the high cost.
How to treat ankylosing spondylitis in children? How to treat ankylosing spondylitis
What are the examination and treatment of ankylosing spondylitis in children? Ankylosing spondylitis has been endangering people's health in recent years. It not only affects adults' normal life and work, but also has a serious impact on children's physical development and growth. Once children suffer from the disease, they should be examined and treated as soon as possible.
According to the survey, because the etiology of ankylosing spondylitis is unknown, how to treat ankylosing spondylitis puzzles most patients. However, through the understanding of treatment methods, as long as people pay more attention to some details in life, how to treat ankylosing spondylitis is no longer a difficult problem. Now let Li Guohua, director of Beijing rheumatic bone disease research and treatment center, introduce in detail the specific methods of how to treat ankylosing spondylitis in life.
How to treat ankylosing spondylitis 1. Patients with ankylosing spondylitis have no taboos on eating. Their daily diet should be rich in protein and vitamins. Except for a few patients who need short-term bed rest due to severe systemic symptoms and obvious pain, most patients can stick to work, but they should avoid overwork, wind cold and humidity. Reduce or avoid physical activity that causes persistent pain. In order to prevent hunchback deformity, patients should avoid long-term bending work and strengthen posture training.
How to treat ankylosing spondylitis 2. No matter in the acute attack stage or chronic stage of the disease, patients should pay attention to maintaining normal posture: when standing, they should keep their chest, abdomen and eyes flat as far as possible, and when sitting, they should keep their back as straight as possible. To sleep on a hard board bed, most of them take the supine position to avoid the position that promotes flexion deformity. Low pillow should be used during sleep. Once upper thoracic vertebrae and cervical vertebrae are involved, the pillow should be stopped. This can not only avoid deformity, but also reduce night pain and stiffness.

Experts pointed out that the examination and treatment of ankylosing spondylitis in children include the following aspects:
1. Renal function examination: most of the children's renal function had no change. Generally, after taking indomethacin according to the doctor's instructions, regular physical examination shall be carried out. In case of abnormal urea nitrogen and creatinine, diagnosis and treatment and drug withdrawal shall be carried out as soon as possible.
2. Stool routine examination: the stool routine examination of children is mostly normal. However, long-term use of indomethacin or corticosteroids will lead to positive stool occult blood in children. At this time, we should see a doctor as soon as possible, which is likely to be gastrointestinal bleeding. Klebsiella pneumoniae can be cultured in the stool of some children. After the condition is controlled, the stool occult blood can turn negative.
3. Liver function examination: most of the children's liver function had no change. Patients using indomethacin should check their bodies regularly. In case of abnormalities of alanine, aspartate aminotransferase or bilirubin, they should be treated and stopped as soon as possible.
4. Blood routine examination: the blood routine examination of the child shows mild anemia, and the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin level will decrease. After indomethacin and other drug treatment, the number of leukocytes in some children will also be reduced. They should check their bodies on time. Once there are too few leukocytes, they should see a doctor in time.
5. Routine urine examination: the routine urine examination of children has no abnormal changes, but after taking indomethacin and other drugs, some patients will have a small number of red blood cells, white blood cells or urinary protein, which will generally disappear after stopping the drug. If it is a patient who takes corticosteroids for a long time, once the urine glucose test is positive, he should see a doctor in time.
The examination and treatment of ankylosing spondylitis in children are introduced here. I hope it can bring you some help. If children have the symptoms of the disease, effective treatment should be carried out as soon as possible to avoid spinal deformation and ankylosis.
How to treat ankylosing spondylitis by strengthening the kidney and activating collaterals
Strengthening kidney and activating collaterals are two key factors in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis. The kidney governs the bone, nourishes tendons, generates marrow, strengthens the kidney, and nourishes the renal vein; Activating collaterals is to open up the bone veins blocked by cold and dampness external pathogens, nourish bones and joints, and eliminate muscle and bone pain and contracture. After treatment, the blood supply around the spine is unblocked, the blood flow is accelerated, the bone is adequately nourished, the articular cartilage is activated and regenerated, and the bone metabolism gradually returns to normal, reducing and disappearing the symptoms of joint swelling, pain and claudication. The systemic immune function is restored, the complexion becomes ruddy, the sleep is sufficient, the appetite is enhanced, the energy is exuberant, and the sexual function is enhanced. The blood circulation and metabolism around the bone and joint are normal, the vein around the joint is thrombolytic, the hardened bone is absorbed, the joint deformation stops, the activity function gradually recovers, the condition improves, there is no pain when walking, and the pace becomes flexible. After the treatment of Tonifying Qi and blood, immune regulation, metabolic activation, nourishing bone, activating joints, strengthening kidney and activating collaterals, the hardened bone around each joint was partially dissolved and absorbed, the corroded bone plate was repaired, the thickened periosteum was restored to its original state, the joint activity was no longer limited, and the ankylosing deformity spine was completely recovered.
