“How to treat lupus?”

When treating lupus in children, a combination of medications and lifestyle adjustments is typically employed:

Medication:

Antimalarial drugs like hydroxychloroquine can be prescribed to prevent and manage symptoms.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) aid in addressing symptoms like pain, swelling, and stiffness.
In severe cases with organ involvement, cyclophosphamide might be used.

Lifestyle Changes:

The management focuses on controlling symptoms such as fatigue, pain, and inflammation.

Every patient's Lupus is different. I encourage you to speak to your child's rheumatologist further about this. Treatment is based on the different organ systems involved.

Consider a TV consultant. Gather all the lab data and see if your local Rheumatologist will do this.. there is a consultation cost.
