**4.3 Management of relapse**

All patients with suspected relapse should be referred to, or have their treatment discussed with, a specialist [1–5, 18, 19]. In case of relapse, a rise in inflammatory markers (ESR/CRP) is usually seen, however these markers can remain normal in some cases. In case of recurrence of headache, the patient should revert to the previous higher corticosteroid dosage. In case of jaw claudication, a prednisolone dosage of 60 mg daily is recommended. Ocular symptoms need prednisolone 60 mg daily orally or intravenous pulse methylprednisolone 1 g and immediate opthalmology consultation.
