What should I do if I have herpes on my stomach? Treatment of shingles

Herpes on the abdomen is also a common type of shingles. This disease is very harmful. Once you are sick, you must actively treat it. You can adopt root therapy, physical therapy, and drug therapy. The treatment must be targeted and you should not seek medical treatment indiscriminately.

1. Root-dig therapy: The basic reason for shingles, regardless of age, is that the patient's immunity is significantly reduced, which activates the latent shingles virus in the body and causes rash and pain. The following are common causes of decreased immunity, including being overtired, lack of sleep, playing cards, watching TV, using the computer for too long, getting angry, multiple illnesses, trauma, chemotherapy, improper diet, etc. Patients must carefully find out the causes and resolutely correct their unhealthy lifestyles. Only by removing the root cause of the disease can the medicine be effectively exerted, and even achieve miraculous effects.

2. Supportive therapy: that is, patients with herpes zoster must be supported to establish a belief in victory, because this disease is a self-limiting disease and will definitely get better and better after external use of Chinese medicine, so patients do not need to panic. Because only by establishing the belief of victory can the patient's brain secrete a kind of happiness hormone (endorphin) which also has a strong analgesic effect.

3. Physical therapy: Local ultraviolet irradiation, audio electrotherapy and helium-neon laser irradiation can be used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain and shorten the course of the disease.

4. Drug therapy: Apply valacyclovir (valaciclovir) and famciclovir as early as possible. These two prodrugs have higher oral bioavailability than acyclovir, and small doses produce high drug concentrations in the blood. The time required for both to reach antiviral activity concentrations in serum through oral administration is shorter than the time required for acyclovir through intravenous drip. Acyclovir (acyclosine) has a strong anti-herpes virus effect, inhibits viral DNA polymerase, and interferes with DNA synthesis. Early application can reduce the formation of new rashes, inhibit pain, stop the spread of the virus, and reduce the occurrence of visceral damage. Herpes zoster patients can take 200 mg orally, 5 times/d, for 1 week, or 5 mg/kg intravenously, 3 times/d, for 5 to 10 days. Adenosine can interfere with the early synthesis of herpes virus DNA; oral 15 mg/(kg·d), intravenous drip once/d, for 10 days. Other antiviral drugs such as acyclovir, ribavirin (triazine), and polyinosin can also be used because of their low prices.

Through the introduction of the above article, I believe everyone has already understood the content of "How to treat to stay away from shingles". When treating shingles, patients must not rush to seek medical treatment. It is correct to choose a regular hospital for treatment. In order to stay away from the trouble of this disease, we should do a good job of preventing this disease in our lives. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
