Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. Last night, he suddenly had weakness in his legs and couldn't stand up. It was painful on the inside of his legs and he couldn't walk. When we went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was neuritis. How does neuritis develop? What aspects can cause it?Doctor's answer:
The cause of neuritis is relatively complex, and many factors can lead to it. Common causes include vitamin B deficiency, diabetes, immune system diseases, as well as a history of exposure to toxins and long-term medication use, etc. A detailed and thorough examination is necessary to rule out each possibility. Once diagnosed, it is important to take precautions. In cold weather, wear a mask when going outside, and use an eye patch if your eyes feel uncomfortable to avoid corneal injury.
