Patient's question:
My wife has developed herpes in her ears, and her face and mouth are also twisted. How should this be treated? She has been receiving antiviral medication for half a month and acupuncture, but it hasn't improved yet.Doctor's answer:
The transmission of herpes virus to your wife is considered to be due to facial neuritis. Generally, antiviral treatment becomes ineffective seven days after the herpes virus transmission. It is recommended to provide nerve nutrition treatment at the moment. Oral administration of vitamins B1, B6, and B12 can be used for nerve nutrition treatment. At the same time, acupuncture and physiotherapy should be combined to aid in complete recovery. Generally, treatment requires patience, and excessive worry should be avoided.
