Secondly, if the wound can be found, necrotic tissue remains in the wound and drainage is not smooth, the wound should be treated and fully drained under good anesthesia and spasm control after the treatment of anti-virus serum, and the local area can be rinsed with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. Some wounds seem to have healed, and should be carefully examined for sinus or dead space under the scab.

Finally: after admission, patients should live in isolation ward to avoid light, sound and other stimulation; to avoid harassment of patients. Sedative and antispasmodic drugs can be used alternatively according to the situation to reduce the spasm and pain of patients. Drugs need to be used under the guidance of doctors to avoid blind medication.
