Peripheral nerve injury can be treated under a physician’s guidance with vitamin B complex and vitamin B12 supplementation, or with oral ibuprofen for pain relief. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be required. During treatment, adequate rest is essential. Nutrition should be optimized through a balanced, nutrient-rich diet. Follow-up visits should be scheduled regularly to monitor recovery progress.
