What to do if i have shingles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is no cure: The condition is not curable , but is treatable. Symptomatic treatment with analgesics, anti-inflammatory is recommended and antiviral drugs as a preventive. Stay away from people and be patient. The herpes zoster usually clears in 20 days.
