What is the first line treatment for Reactive Arthritis?

The first line treatment for Reactive Arthritis primarily includes the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and addressing any underlying infection. In Reactive Arthritis, inflammation is triggered by an infection elsewhere in the body, often the urogenital or gastrointestinal tract. NSAIDs are effective at reducing inflammation and alleviating pain associated with the condition.

It is crucial to assess for and treat any underlying infections that may have triggered the arthritis. This approach addresses not only the symptoms of arthritis but also the root cause, which is important for full recovery. If an identifiable infection is found, specific treatment for that infection should be initiated as it can help in resolving the arthritis symptoms.

The other options listed, such as Metronidazole, Ceftriaxone, and Penicillin G Benzathine, are antibiotics used to treat specific infections, but they are not the first line of treatment for Reactive Arthritis itself. Their use would depend on identifying the specific pathogen involved, and they do not act on the inflammatory process associated with Reactive Arthritis in the same way that NSAIDs do.
