Brief Answer:
I think you may need a course of hydroxy chloroquine or corticosteroids
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX welcome to Health care magic,
I think you may need a course of hydroxy chloroquine or corticosteroids.This will take care of your pains.
After the course is over----- ASO, CRP, and ESR should be repeated.
And only if ASO continues to be high, Penicillin shots once a month for five years should be advised.
You can discuss this with your doctor.
Regards
