Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.

Treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia can be medical or surgical(if patient do not respond to medicines).Some of the common drugs used in treatment are-
1)Carbamazepine
2)Oxcarbazepine
3)Phenytoin
4)Gabapentin
5)Amitriptyline

If patient is not responding to medicines,Botox(Botulinum toxin injections)may be of help.

To start with,I would recommend Tab.Carbamazepine 100 mg twice a day(PLEASE TAKE ALL MEDICINES UNDER A PHYSICIAN'S GUIDANCE ONLY).

Muro128/NaCl can reduce eye pain,if the cause of the eye pain is Corneal edema.

If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to answer.

Regards
Dr.Ajay Panwar,
MD,DM(Neurology)
