What to do if the sequelae of snake gall bladder sore hurts

If the treatment of herpes zoster is not effective, or the patient's physical condition is poor, some sequelae may occur. For example, the patient is prone to neuralgia. This is a symptom that often occurs after the rash subsides, causing local pain and discomfort in the skin. If the pain lasts for more than one month, it is called postherpetic neuralgia. At this time, medication treatment should be carried out in time, including oral and topical use.

Common post-herpetic symptoms

1. If herpes zoster lesions occur in special parts

For example, damage to the eyes may lead to serious consequences. If secondary bacterial infection occurs, it may cause panophthalmitis or even meningitis; sequelae such as decreased vision, blindness, and facial paralysis may occur after the disease.

2. The front of the head is the distribution area of ​​the first branch of the trigeminal nerve

Can cause hair loss and permanent scarring. After the shingles skin lesions heal, the pain may continue for some time. In some elderly patients, neuralgia may persist for several months or even more than a year. It can seriously affect sleep and mood; severe pain and prolonged duration can lead to mental anxiety, depression and other symptoms.

3. Herpes zoster can occur in the trigeminal ganglion segment of the face

There is a nerve fiber in the trigeminal nerve, namely the ophthalmic nerve fiber. Some nerve fibers are distributed in the cornea, conjunctiva and even the entire eyeball of the human eye. If the nerve fibers in this area are infected by the herpes virus, keratitis, corneal ulcers, and conjunctivitis may occur. The patient may become afraid of the light, have tears, and have eye pain, resulting in decreased vision. In severe cases, panophthalmitis may occur, leading to blindness. When the herpes virus infects the motor nerve fibers in the facial nerve, facial paralysis occurs, resulting in the inability to close the affected eye, a dull facial expression on the affected side, the corner of the mouth tilting toward the healthy side, and the inability to blow air.

4. Herpes zoster occurring in the auricle and ear canal

Symptoms of inner ear dysfunction will appear, and patients will experience dizziness, nausea, vomiting, hearing impairment, nystagmus, etc. When the herpes virus invades the central nervous system, that is, the brain parenchyma and meninges of the human body, from the nerve roots in the spinal cord, viral encephalitis and meningitis will occur, which are manifested by severe headache, projectile vomiting, convulsions, limb cramps, confusion, coma, and life-threatening conditions.

When the herpes virus invades the visceral nerve fibers in the body from the nerve roots in the spinal cord, it can cause acute gastroenteritis, cystitis, and prostatitis, manifested by abdominal cramps, difficulty urinating, and urinary retention.

The above points introduce the common knowledge about the symptoms of complications of shingles. I hope everyone can understand it. At the same time, once the patient has the above symptoms, timely treatment is needed to effectively reduce the harm caused by shingles to the patient.
