Hello, peripheral nerve injury requires treatment with neurotrophic medications—such as mecobalamin and vitamin B12—under the guidance of a physician. Additionally, acupuncture and massage therapy are recommended. Ensure adequate sleep, drink plenty of water, and consume ample vegetables and fruits. Regular physical exercise is also advised, as it can aid recovery. Untreated or delayed treatment of nerve injury may lead to complications such as muscle atrophy. Please prioritize sufficient sleep.
