Shingles – Minimize Symptoms

Shingles can lead to intense pain, a blistering rash, and long-term nerve pain. Timely treatment is vital to minimize symptoms and avoid complications like post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), a type of chronic pain that may linger many months or even years after the rash is gone. Our doctors prescribe antiviral drugs such as acyclovir or valacyclovir to minimize the severity and duration of the infection. We also provide pain relief measures such as NSAIDs or certain nerve pain medications, along with calming treatments to speed up healing and minimize skin irritation. If you’ve had chickenpox previously, you’re susceptible to shingles, so early treatment is crucial to achieve the best possible result.
