hi I m 50 years old and when I was 10 I was diagnosed with a severe cased of rheumatic fever. I strive for optimum health but I fear I m not, due to the life long effects that sickness is associated with. Any advice for a concerned parent playing the longevity game? I would also like some professional insight on Pandas pediatric autoimmune neuro psychiatric autoimmune deficiency and the antibiotics associated with strep.
Howell come to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern, if this was the rheumatic fever, if it was treated well at that time then this is nothing to worry, only concern is it should not attack the heart and for that you need to periodically go for cardiac evaluation test, if this is alright then no need to worry about this, if the case was well treated in the beginning then one should be worried about this, hope this information helps, take care.
