Serpentine sores, also known as shingles, weakness, bitter mouth and numbness of the hands after treatment are considered to be related to the fact that the disease has not yet fully recovered and the after-effects.
Herpes zoster is caused by varicella zoster virus infection, which is an acute infectious skin disease. If the patient’s physical condition is poor or accompanied by hypertension, diabetes, cerebral embolism and other primary diseases, the virus reproduction on the nerves caused by stimulation or the disease is not timely treatment, easy to leave sequelae.
After infection with varicella zoster virus, the body’s immunity decreases. The body has not fully recovered after the treatment of the disease, and symptoms of weakness may occur. If the patient does not pay attention to diet, often intake of greasy food, drink too little water, may lead to bitter mouth.
Numbness of the hands, if it lasts for more than a month, is considered to be related to the after-effects of shingles. Varicella zoster virus invades the epidermal nerves, resulting in nerve damage or the nerves are not completely repaired and healed, which may lead to numbness of the hands.
After the recovery of shingles, if the skin feels abnormal or painful, it is recommended to go to the neurology department and dermatology department of the hospital, and give treatment with the doctor’s advice.
