How to treat herpes zoster neuralgia

Herpes zoster neuralgia is mainly treated with a comprehensive approach. Herpes zoster is caused by varicella-herpes zoster virus infection. This virus can invade not only the skin but also the nerves, so it can cause neuralgia phenomena seen clinically. In the process of treatment, a comprehensive approach is needed, including antiviral, neurotrophic, and analgesic treatments. Antiviral drugs mainly include famciclovir capsules, valacyclovir tablets, acyclovir and bromfudine. The course of treatment is 1-2 weeks. There are many kinds of analgesic drugs, including pregabalin capsules, gabapentin, oxycodone, ibuprofen, etc. Neurotrophic drugs are mainly vitamin B1 and mecobalamin. In addition to the above drug treatment, attention should also be paid to ensuring adequate sleep, preventing staying up late, regular life, and appropriate physical exercise to fundamentally treat herpes zoster and neuralgia.
