These medications rapidly reduce inflammation and usually produce improvement within 24–72 hours.
Discontinuation of Triggering Drugs
If a medication caused the reaction, stopping the drug is essential.
Additional Therapies
In patients who cannot take corticosteroids, doctors may consider alternative treatments such as:
• Anti-inflammatory medications
• Immunosuppressive drugs
• Targeted therapies for underlying diseases
Prognosis
Most patients experience rapid relief once treatment begins, particularly with corticosteroids.
However, recurrence can occur, especially when Sweet syndrome is associated with:
• Chronic inflammatory conditions
• Underlying malignancies
• Persistent triggering medications
Long-term management focuses on treating the underlying cause and monitoring for recurrence.
