Patient's question:
Doctor, I went for a thorough check-up earlier, and it was said that I have neuritis. What medicine should I take for costochondritis?Doctor's answer:
Intercostal neuralgia is a painful lump and tenderness in the costal cartilage. Currently, Western medicine has no specific treatment for intercostal neuralgia caused by unclear reasons. Most doctors prescribe painkillers and symptomatic treatments, which only provide temporary relief but cannot solve the problem fundamentally. Treatment should target the cause of intercostal neuralgia, so it should be based on the identified cause. There is no best medicine, only the most suitable for your condition.
