• Anti-inflammatory therapy should be commenced in patients with arthritis or severe arthralgia once the diagnosis of ARF has been made.
• Fever alone, or fever with mild arthralgia or arthritis, may not require NSAIDs but can instead be treated with paracetamol.
• Naproxen, ibuprofen or aspirin once diagnosis confirmed, if arthritis or severe arthralgia present.
• The arthritis of ARF has been shown in controlled trials to respond dramatically to salicylate or other NSAID therapy, often within hours, and almost always within three days.
• The duration of treatment is dictated by the clinical response and improvement in inflammatory markers (ESR, CRP).
