Numbness in the fingers after chemotherapy can be relieved through methods such as acupuncture and oral medications. If the numbness is mild, acupuncture may help improve local blood circulation and thereby alleviate symptoms. However, if the numbness is severe, it is recommended to take neurotrophic medications under a doctor's guidance. Commonly used medications include B-complex vitamins.
