Hello,
Trigeminal neuralgia is a difficult condition to cure.
You can take drugs like gabapentin for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist you can consult a neurologist and plan for nerve block.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
General & Family Physician
