Hello, symptoms of peripheral neuropathy arise from disorders affecting the optic nerve or cranial nerves, among others. Common causes of peripheral neuropathy typically include infections—such as pharyngitis or tracheobronchitis—as well as deficiencies in B-complex vitamins. Hypothyroidism may also contribute to the development of peripheral neuropathy. We recommend undergoing appropriate diagnostic tests to confirm the underlying cause and initiating targeted treatment accordingly. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
