Occipital neuralgia usually does not heal by itself and can only be cured after standardized and effective treatment. Occipital neuralgia may be caused by cold or viral infection, or may be caused by demyelinating lesions of the occipital nerve, usually does not heal by itself, and needs to be treated with nutritive nerves, improved blood circulation, and pain medications under the guidance of a professional doctor, such as carbamazepine, methylcobalamin, and ibuprofen, which can generally be cured in 1-2 weeks, and in severe cases, it may take about a month for gradual recovery. It should be noted that if the body’s immunity is reduced and the virus lurking in the area of occipital nerve nodes is more active, occipital neuralgia is likely to recur. Therefore, even if occipital neuralgia improves after treatment, it is still necessary to pay attention to rest, avoid overwork, and at the same time strengthen the exercise to improve their own immunity, in order to effectively fight against the virus, to avoid the recurrence of occipital neuralgia.
