Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended going to the neurology department for a check-up. I was wondering what medicine can relieve costal neuralgia?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Intercostal neuralgia is primarily treated with drugs that provide nutrition to the peripheral nerves, such as vitamin B1 and mecobalamin dispersible tablets. If the intercostal neuralgia is caused by herpes zoster, antiviral drugs are also needed. You can take mecobalamin orally to nourish the nerves, as well as use pain-relieving drugs for symptomatic treatment, which should lead to some improvement in symptoms. Rest more and reduce activity during daily life.
