What Is Ramsay Hunt Syndrome?
10. 10. Treatment
If a case of Ramsay Hunt syndrome is confirmed then it is important to start treating the condition straight away. This is to help relieve the pain caused and to help prevent permanent damage from being done. This usually involves antiviral drugs that will help to fight against the virus.
The patient’s symptoms will also need to be treated, and this can include anti-anxiety medication that can help to relieve vertigo. Corticosteroids may also be administered because they can help make anti-viral medications more effective. Pain relievers will also often be needed to help make the patient feel more comfortable.
