Costochondritis is a chronic nonspecific inflammation occurring in costal cartilage, also known as non-suppurative costal chondritis, which is slightly more common in women. It is generally considered to be related to strain or trauma. When carrying heavy objects, people violently twist or cause acute injury to the cartilage of the sternoclavicular joint, or viral infection caused by chronic strain or common cold, resulting in edema and thickening of the cartilage of the sternoclavicular joint.

Daily instructions:

1, patients with costal chondritis also need special attention in daily life. They must form the good habit of regular physical examination in the hospital, keep up with the development of the disease, pay attention to strengthening nutritional supplements, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest. External carbuncle (soft rib, smooth ancient jade, paste) can be refined. Escape and keep friends. Usually, open more windows to keep the air circulating. If the body sweats a lot, try to change clothes in time, which is better for this disease.

2. Eat more vegetables and fruits. Eat more foods that enhance immunity: soft-shelled turtle, tortoise, soft-shelled turtle, worm, herring, shark, water snake, shrimp, Agkistrodon, crucian carp, mulberry, fig, litchi, walnut, Trichosanthes kirilowii, purslane, lobster sauce, olive, almond and loofah. Eat high-quality protein food, such as milk, eggs, fish and poultry. Avoid spicy, spicy, cold, greasy and indigestible products. Such as peppers, cigarettes, spirits, raw food, cold food and foods containing a lot of animal fat.

3. For a small number of patients with severe local pain, all the above treatment methods are ineffective, which seriously affects the life and work of patients and causes a certain mental burden, or those who are suspected of having malignant tumors can consider surgical resection. After resection of the diseased costal cartilage, the local pain can be alleviated or even disappeared.

Always open the window for ventilation, keep the indoor air fresh, take part in more sports activities and enhance resistance. The weather turns cold to avoid catching a cold. Pay attention to keep warm at ordinary times to prevent colds. Don't take off your clothes immediately when you sweat, so as not to catch cold in the wind.
