What Is Erythema Nodosum?
6. What Is The Treatment for Erythema Nodosum?
The treatment depends on the cause of your EN. If an infection triggered the condition, you may receive antibiotics from your doctor. Conversely, if new antibiotics triggered the condition, your doctor may offer an alternative treatment. You are likely to either be given a replacement medication or asked to discontinue the first one entirely.
Your doctor may treat your symptoms like pain and swelling with other medications. Oral corticosteroids like prednisone or methylprednisolone are commonly used, and your doctor may recommend a prescription dose of an NSAID like ibuprofen as well.
