Question
My wife’s ear has developed blisters, and her facial muscles are also crooked. She has undergone half a month of antiviral treatment and acupuncture therapy, but the symptoms have not improved. How should she be treated?
Answer
Considering that the infection of the herpes virus may have caused neuritis, generally speaking, the effectiveness of antiviral treatment is limited after seven days of herpes virus infection. It is recommended to currently adopt nutritional nerve treatment, which includes taking oral vitamins B1, B6, and B12, while also complementing with acupuncture and physical therapy to promote full recovery. Patience in treatment is usually required; there is no need to be overly concerned.
