Colds may cause trigeminal neuralgia, which may be related to the involvement of the trigeminal nerve caused by a virus, or may be related to the irregularity of lifestyle caused by colds, and it is recommended to consult a doctor to clarify the cause of the disease and diagnosis.
Trigeminal neuralgia includes primary trigeminal neuralgia and secondary trigeminal neuralgia. The cause of primary trigeminal neuralgia is still unclear. However, people with irregular lifestyle, frequent late nights, excessive mental stress, long-term smoking and drinking are more likely to suffer from this disease.
Colds are mainly viral upper respiratory tract infections, and the virus that infects the body may also lead to trigeminal nerve involvement and thus manifest trigeminal neuralgia. The pain area may involve the face, mouth, jaw and other parts of the body, resulting in sudden onset and discontinuation of severe pain. It is recommended to treat the cold and trigeminal neuralgia accordingly.
