Question
How should I handle my child’s current symptoms of intermittent headaches, fever, and eye pain?
Answer
Based on the examination results, the child may be suffering from neuralgia. Treatment methods include active prevention and treatment of the primary disease, pain relief during attacks, prevention of attacks during remission, and surgical treatment (for patients with long-standing, frequent attacks, and ineffective medication treatment). Medications that can be chosen include ergotamine caffeine, ergot alkaloids, asarone, pizotifen, gamma oryzanol, propranolol, etc. In addition, Gegen tablets and Chuanxiong injection may also be effective. For severe cases, consider superficial temporal artery ligation surgery.
