Early detection of Stevens Johnson is critical. Recovery may take several weeks. If Stevens-Johnson syndrome is diagnosed within 24 to 48 hours of onset, prompt treatment may shorten the duration of the illness. This is critical becuase up to 15 percent of cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome result in death.
Typical treatment for Stevens Johnson Syndrome:
Pain relievers
Antibiotics, if infection develops
Topical anesthetics
Corticosteroids or other immune system modulating medications
Fluid and nutritional supplements
