Hello,
With the question “Remedies for polyneuropathy? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Polyneuritis is divided into 2 main diseases, acute and chronic. Acute polyneuritis treated with immunotherapy: plasmapheresis or immunoglobulin infusion. Chronic polyneuritis is treated with immunotherapy as above or with corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs or a combination of methods. In addition, it is necessary to treat the cause of polyneuritis (if the cause is found), for example: Vitamin B12 deficiency, alcohol poisoning, poisoning with some substances,...
The above methods are all have certain side effects. For example: Plasmapheresis requires invasive intervention, which can cause infection, low blood pressure; Immunoglobulin infusion can cause allergies, kidney failure,... However, if it's true polyneuritis, it should be treated, but for any specific method, you need to see a neurologist specialist. for examination and testing, then choose the appropriate treatment method.
If you still have questions about the treatment of polyneuritis, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
