Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. How can one determine if they have neuritis?Doctor's answer:
Neuritis is a general term for peripheral neuritic and degenerative diseases caused by various conditions. It is commonly caused by mechanical compression, trauma, and poisoning. Patients usually experience numbness and pain in the extremities, as well as glove or stocking-like sensations. It is recommended to visit a formal Grade III-A hospital's neurology department for consultation. Under the guidance of a doctor, oral medications such as vitamin B12, methylcobalamin, oryzanol, hydralazine, niacin, and choline can be prescribed. Additionally, you can go to a formal hospital's rehabilitation department for treatments like massage, heat therapy, and physical therapy, as well as acupuncture. At the same time, it is important to rest, avoid overexertion, keep warm, and avoid getting cold.
