For rheumatoid arthritis, treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and preventing joint damage. Your doctor may prescribe disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (such as methotrexate or leflunomide) to slow disease progression, paracetamol or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain relief, and physiotherapy to maintain joint movement. In some cases, corticosteroid injections or biologic medicines may be recommended if symptoms are severe. Regular follow-up is essential to monitor your disease activity and adjust your treatment.
