What should I do if facial neuritis is accompanied by a fever?
Patients with facial neuritis who experience a fever with a body temperature above 38.5°C can undergo antipyretic treatment. They can take oral acetaminophen or ibuprofen, or receive intramuscular injections of Chaihu and Lysine Aspirin Injection. Simultaneously, antiviral medications should be used, such as ribavirin, oseltamivir, ganciclovir, and acyclovir, etc. It is also crucial to actively use medications that nourish the nerves, such as oral vitamin B1, vitamin B12, cobamamide, and methylcobalamin. During the acute phase, corticosteroids, which also have a certain antipyretic effect, can be used to reduce local edema and promote the absorption of inflammation. Dexamethasone and prednisone are commonly used clinically, and the medication period should generally not exceed two weeks, etc. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a physician.)
