If the diagnosis of rheumatic heart disease was established and there is still an infection by the Streptococcus bacteria, then main thing that came through from the doctors was giving antibiotics and anti-inflammatory. Such as giving penicillin antibiotics orally or benzathine penicillin G. On patients who have allergic to both of these drugs, other alternative is by giving erythromycin or cephalosporin grWhile anti-inflammatory that is usually given is cortisone and aspirin.
Patients are suggested to be hospitalized in the hospital, besides that medical team will think about handling the possibility of complications such as heart failure, bacterial endocarditic or trombo-embolism. Patients will be given a highly nutritious diet that contains enough vitamins.
The patients of Rheumatism Heart disease (PJR) without symptoms do not require a therapy. Patients with the light heart failure symptom are requiring a medical therapy to address his complaint. Symptomatic patients require a surgical therapy or invasive intervention. But surgical therapy and this intervention are limitedly available and require expensive cost and also requires long-term follow-up.
