Acute herpes is a condition in which the patient mainly presents with severe pain and in severe cases may suffer from nausea and vomiting, which affects the patient’s sleep and rest. If the patient is in severe pain, symptomatic pain relief treatment can usually be given. Commonly used medications include carbamazepine, and can also be applied to pindroxin, painkillers, etc. Most infections are caused by viruses, including herpes zoster virus and herpes simplex virus. With a history of herpes zoster virus infection, patients usually present with herpes zoster. Most patients have a rash that appears mostly on one side of the torso, usually not exceeding the midline, and can be treated with antiviral therapy. Clinically, acyclovir is usually applied and ganciclovir can also be applied, as well as oral nerve-nourishing drugs such as vitamin B1 and vitamin B6, etc., while preventing infection.
