Patient's question:
My daughter has had intercostal neuralgia for two months. She had an ultrasound and chest X-ray, but everything came back normal. However, the child still says it hurts and cannot breathe in or breathe out. She has taken Phenylephrine tablets, Vitamin B1, and Vitamin B12, except for the Du Yi Mei capsules, but none of them have had any effect. Doctor, what should we do?Doctor's answer:
Consider it as caused by soft tissue injury, you can apply drugs such as sodium diclofenac cream or spray, or take some anti-inflammatory and blood-activating drugs. It is advisable to minimize physical activity. The most effective treatment is acupuncture. Pay attention to rest and gradually increase exercise, and things will gradually improve.Additionally, in daily life, patients should balance their nutritional intake, engage in more aerobic exercises to strengthen their bodies, and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical fitness and accelerate recovery.
