How to treat trigeminal neuralgia, what treatment method to choose and how to prevent the pain from recurring.

Hello,

Chinese medicine believes that this disease is due to the lack of healthy qi. Wind, cold, dampness, heat and phlegm invade the human body and block the meridians. If it is blocked, it will hurt. The main therapeutic drugs of western medicine are carbamazepine and other painkillers and drugs that nourish nerves, but the effect is not ideal and the side effects are great. However, the effect of Chinese patent medicine is not very good because it can not be treated according to syndrome differentiation and has no pertinence. At present, the best treatment is Chinese herbal medicine based on syndrome differentiation. On the basis of "Quanlong Decoction", drugs can be added and subtracted according to the specific situation of patients.

In addition, at the same time of drug treatment, pay attention to:

1. Eat regularly every day, ensure adequate sleep and rest, and avoid overwork.

2. Keep a good mood and avoid impulsiveness, anger or depression.

3. Prevent all factors that cause pain, such as washing face, brushing teeth, shaving, cutting hair, eating, etc. And try to avoid stimulating the trigger. It is best not to go out when it is windy. Pay attention to keep warm in cold weather, and wear a mask when you go out to avoid the cold wind directly irritating your face.

4. Eat soft food, such as noodles, egg custard and rice porridge. Never eat fried food, hard fruit and other foods that people can't chew; Do not eat ginger powder, mustard and other irritating condiments to prevent sneezing from causing pain; Avoid alcohol, sour, spicy, strong tea, coffee, ginseng tonic and cold, overheated, fried and all kinds of irritating foods.

I hope you get well soon.
