Medications, surgery, etc. If the condition is caused by infection, anti-infective treatment is required; medications may be used initially to control symptoms. In more severe cases, hospital evaluation is necessary, and surgical intervention may be considered based on diagnostic findings. If the condition is non-infectious, conservative management—including rest and physical therapy—should be the primary approach. Warm compresses may be applied to the affected area, and patients should take care to keep warm in daily life.
