herpes zoster neuralgia

Herpes zoster neuralgia, known as postherpetic neuralgia, is also more common in clinical practice, especially in the elderly and people with low immunity. Therefore, patients with herpes zoster must be given early and sufficient antiviral treatment, which is conducive to alleviating neuralgia. In addition, symptomatic treatment such as pain relief, nerve nutrition, local anti-inflammatory, etc., for postherpetic neuralgia, gabapentin or pregabalin can be given. For acute pain, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or tricyclic antidepressants should be given promptly to delay after-effects neuralgia. All drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
