Physical health is an issue that people take very seriously. Most people will encounter many health issues in their lifetime, which will have a great impact on their lives. For example, various skin diseases have a great impact on people's lives. Among them, the symptoms of shingles are very serious and will cause great pain to people. Let's take a look at how to better treat shingles.

This disease usually occurs in spring and autumn, and is more common in adults. Before the onset of the disease, there are often systemic symptoms such as mild fever, fatigue, discomfort, and loss of appetite. There is a cord-like tingling pain in the affected area. Some pains appear before the onset of the disease, some appear along with the skin at the same time as the disease occurs, and some appear after the onset of the disease. Initially, the affected skin turns red, followed by dense clusters of mung bean to soybean-sized papules that quickly turn into small blisters. The blisters appear in groups of three or five, gathered in one or several places, and arranged in strips, with normal skin appearing between the blisters. In severe cases, blood spots, blood blisters or necrosis may appear. Skin lesions often occur on one side of the body, arranged along the direction of peripheral nerves, such as the waist, chest, and face.

This disease occurs in the head and is serious, often causing severe headaches. It can damage various parts of the eyeball and even cause blindness. The course of the disease is about 2 to 4 weeks. In order to reduce the pain of patients with herpes simplex and help them recover their health as soon as possible, we introduce several treatment methods: 1. Internal treatment: 1. Oral Chinese herbal decoctions such as Gentiana scabra, Phellodendron chinense, Fructus jasminoides, Akebia trifoliata, Rhizoma alismatis, Radix bupleuri, Radix angelicae sinensis, Radix rehmanniae, licorice, Radix isatidis, Folium isatidis, etc. For patients with severe pain, add Radix Corydalis yanhusuo, frankincense, myrrh, decocted in water, taken once in the morning and evening, and avoid spicy food. 2. Take acyclovir tablets orally, 2 tablets/time, 4 times a day.

2. External treatment 1. If the blisters have not broken, shake realgar wine (5g realgar, 0.5g borneol, 100ml white wine) and apply it directly to the affected area. 2. After the blisters break, apply Sihuang ointment or Qingdai ointment externally. 3. If the blisters are not broken, you can use a three-edged needle or a sterilized needle to prick them to allow the blister fluid to flow out and relieve the pain.
