Spring Festival 7-day holiday, many people thought they could take a good rest, but it turns out that they are more tired than usual work. Home to visit relatives, visit friends and relatives every day; out of travel, travel more needless to say; even at home, the results are not idle, playing mahjong, games, staying up late. This is not, some people are unfortunately hit, the body rash, blisters, distribution in the form of bands, but also fever, pain unbearable. The hospital is a checkup, it turns out to have herpes zoster, Guangzhou people commonly called “raw snake”. The doctor explained that herpes zoster can be seen in all seasons, but in the Guangzhou area it occurs in the winter and spring, often after a stressful and tiring work, emotional discomfort and low immunity. The main reason for the decline in immunity is the “birth of the snake” Herpes zoster is caused by varicella-zoster virus infection, the virus mainly invades the intercostal nerves, etc., causing skin herpes in the distribution area, severe pain, especially at night, but the lesions generally do not exceed the midline to the opposite side. Some patients are left with neuralgia, some of which can last for years, and patients are affected and have a poor quality of life. Professor Lin Lizhu said that herpes zoster can be seen in all seasons, but in the Guangzhou area it is more common in winter and spring, often after stressful work and study, emotional discomfort, low immunity, and can occur in any part of the body, mostly in the ribs, waist, around the ears, eyes, corners of the mouth, arms, thighs and other places. Ordinary people may develop the disease if they are overworked and have a reduced immune system, and it is more common in the elderly. Some symptoms are more typical and easy to diagnose, while others are atypical and need to be identified in detail. Patients with tumors are more likely to develop shingles Clinical studies have found that patients with malignant tumors, such as lung cancer, who have undergone surgery, chemotherapy, and molecular targeted drugs, may have lower immunity and are more likely to develop shingles than healthy people. And in this case, the onset, prolonged course and residual neuralgia of herpes zoster are possible, but it is also important to identify whether this pain is caused by tumor metastasis. ”I heard that herpes zoster neuralgia causes great distress to patients and even affects their sleep, is there any good way to treat it?” This is the concern of many shingles patients. In this regard, Lin Lizhu said that herpes zoster neuralgia is indeed very uncomfortable, especially at the time of its onset, but it is not completely without treatment. The actual fact is that you will find a lot of people who are able to get the most out of their lives. The treatment of shingles must be under the guidance of a doctor, choose the right medication, such as the choice of acyclovir antiviral drugs, choose tramadol and other drugs to relieve pain. If pain control is not satisfactory, consider using higher level pain medication with combined Chinese medicine to reduce pain, shorten the course of the disease, reduce the occurrence of sequelae and have better results. The key to preventing and treating shingles is to improve your health. The main causes of shingles are overexertion and low immunity. Therefore, the key to preventing herpes zoster is to improve physical fitness. In daily life, we should avoid overexertion, strengthen physical exercise, pay attention to a balanced diet and nutrition, and keep a relaxed mood, so as to enhance the body’s ability to resist disease and avoid giving the virus a chance to take advantage of it. Tumor patients should do so under the guidance of professional doctors to fight cancer scientifically and use drugs reasonably, and they should also strengthen exercise and scientific health, learn to arrange work and rest and regulate psychological stress, so as to facilitate physical recovery. Herpes zoster, as long as the treatment is timely and standardized, will not affect the future life after complete treatment.
