Patient's question:
My father has peripheral neuropathy, and he often experiences severe pain in his fingers and toes while taking afternoon naps at night. Sometimes, the pain is so intense that he can't even get out of bed. Additionally, he is particularly afraid of touching cold things, as doing so triggers a more severe recurrence of his peripheral neuropathy. Therefore, I would like to consult about the treatment methods for peripheral neuropathy.Doctor's answer:
Having peripheral neuropathy can cause repeated abnormal sensations in the extremities, which may manifest as numbness or other symptoms. Therefore, it is best to first visit a hospital to examine the specific cause of the disease and assess the extent of involvement of the peripheral nerves. Then, appropriate treatment should be administered. During daily life, it is advisable to consume more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins, which can be beneficial for treating peripheral nerves.
