Brief Answer:
Take treatment as advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
There is no home therapy.
Pain modulator drugs like pregabalin, gabapentin or amitriptyline can be used.
Carbamazepine is another good option for post herpetic trigeminal neuralgia.
Local gabapentin ointment can also be used.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
