Sir, I had been suffering from joint pains and body swelling. After taking medication, my joint pains have been cured. However, there is still swelling in my hands and foot fingers, along with cough and bitter taste in the mouth. According to my blood report, S. Uric acid is 7.1, Rheumatoid factor is negative, and ASO titer is positive.

ASO positive may indicate post strep inflammation. Uric acid slightly raised. Monitor and review with rheumatologist if symptoms persist.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test

I have been experiencing joint pain in all my joints for the past 18 months. All my blood and urine test results have come back normal. In addition, I have been having abdominal and lower back pain for the last 6 months. What could be the possible cause?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My blood test report shows ASO 200, and my doctor has diagnosed me with arthritis. I would like to know if this condition can be cured, and what treatment or steps I should follow.
