The type of treatment for reactive arthritis depends on the stage of reactive arthritis. The early stage of reactive arthritis is considered acute (early). Acute inflammation can be treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (often referred to as NSAIDs). These drugs suppress swelling and pain.
A reactive arthritis, sometime called Reiterâs Syndrome, can occur in response to a streptococcal infection. The inflammatory reaction in the joints is believed to be due to immune complex deposition in, rather than direct infection of, the joints. Reactive arthritis can last 3-12 months in the majority of patients.
