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 she's in pain and cannot breathe in or out. She has been taking Fenbid tablets, vitamin B1, and vitamin B12, but the only thing that hasn't been tried is Du Yi Mei capsules. But it hasn't had any effect at all. What should be done next for treatment?Doctor's answer:
Hello, has your child previously had chickenpox? Postherpetic neuralgia may occur after varicella zoster virus infection, and your description is somewhat similar. It is recommended to visit a specialized hospital for a thorough examination. This condition can be diagnosed through observation, so it would be better to consult a professional doctor. Additionally, in daily life, patients should maintain a balanced nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to exercise their bodies, and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical fitness and accelerate recovery speed.
