How to effectively treat post-herpetic syndrome

Herpes is a common skin disease. There are many types of herpes, including shingles. There may also be sequelae after treatment of herpes zoster. Regarding the treatment of post-herpetic syndrome, in addition to drug treatment, other methods can also be tried.

1. The sequelae of herpes zoster are generally treated with systemic treatment methods. As long as the symptom is pain, it can only be relieved by analgesics. For example, patients with neuralgia can be given aspirin or painkillers, which can effectively relieve pain. However, patients with stomach problems cannot take such drugs and must choose other treatment methods.

2. Patients with stomach problems can generally choose Chinese medicine to treat the sequelae of herpes zoster. Generally speaking, the efficacy of Chinese medicine is quite obvious, but patients must persevere and not give up halfway, because the absorption and transformation of Chinese medicine require a certain amount of time, unlike Western medicine. Chinese medicine is a root cause treatment, while Western medicine is only a symptomatic treatment and can temporarily stop the pain. Chinese medicine can effectively control the disease.

3. Patients with sequelae of herpes zoster can also choose psychotherapy. There are many types of psychological therapies, and the more suitable one is supportive therapy. This type of treatment is to establish the patient's belief in victory. The more active the treatment, the better it will be. So patients don’t have to worry. If the patient has the belief that he will win, then naturally endorphins will be secreted in the brain, a hormone of happiness, which can have a strong analgesic effect and help you fight pain.

4. Patients with sequelae of herpes zoster should relax their minds, actively accept treatment, and do other things to divert their attention. This will make it less likely to feel pain, which is also helpful for treatment.
