Post Herpetic Neuralgia needs aggressive treatment , if she is not responding to routine medical line of treatment she needs pain block in the form of intervention and as you have mentioned she is having other comorbidities so you can think pain block to get rid of pain as there is a limitation in increasing the dose of medication

Hello lybrate-user.
It can be trigeminal neuralgia.
And it will not go by allopathic treatment. The pain killers will give effects for few hours only.
You can consult me at Lybrate for homoeopathic treatment.
Till then take spigelia 30.

There are medicines in allopathy which can reasonably control the symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia. To prevent the pain avoid exposure to cold, drinking cold fluids, cover the ears when going out. Do visit your physician or neurologist for medications.

For persistent pain of trigeminal neuralgia not subsiding with medications then surgery is best choice. Consult any neurosurgeon first
two options of surgery one microvascular decompression and second one ptbc.
Both these techniques done under general anesthesia and both are safe. Pain relief is very good following both the procedures.
