How to treat trigeminal neuritis

Trigeminal neuritis is usually caused by viral infection, so in general, trigeminal neuritis is mainly treated by giving antiviral treatment and neurotropic methods. First, the patient should be given antiviral treatment in a timely manner, which should be administered under the guidance of a doctor in a regular hospital. Secondly, neurotrophic treatment can be given. For example, vitamin B1, methylcobalamin, adenosine cobalamin, and sometimes murine nerve growth factor, and if necessary, treatment to improve blood circulation can also be used. The general medications used to improve blood circulation are Shuxin, Vibrameruptone, and Chuanxiongzin. If early in the course of the disease, a certain amount of hormonal drugs such as prednisone can be taken to reduce the acute inflammation, but not for more than two weeks. The specific medication needs to be chosen according to the patient’s specific situation after the clinician’s interview, and the patient should not use the medication without permission. Secondly, patients with trigeminal neuritis must improve the quality of their sleep and leave it for the night. You can insist on exercising during the day so that you can increase your sleep time at night when your body is sleepy and improve the quality of sleep at night. It is also important to keep a happy mood in general to avoid nerve stimulation. Finally, trigeminal neuritis must be treated seriously, and it is recommended to go to a tertiary care hospital neurology department for targeted treatment.
