Patient's question:
How should children with peripheral neuropathy be treated?Doctor's answer:
Most cases of pediatric peripheral neuropathy are caused by viral infections. It is recommended to actively treat with antiviral medications, such as oral acyclovir, while also taking vitamin B1, B12, and methylcobalamin to nourish the nerves. Local acupuncture, physiotherapy, and heat therapy can also be used to promote the complete recovery of the nerves. For numb areas, it is suggested to soak them in hot water or apply warm towels daily to stabilize local blood circulation and enhance the full recovery of nerve function.
