My fri has shingles on her eye- forehead cheek and lips-she is on antibiotic and velptex it is been 2 weeks - anything she can take naturally to help?

Ice for pain: Ice or a cool compresses decrease the pain of shingles. Ice can be applied at least 15-30 minutes continuously every hour. This has helped my patients with shingles find relief at bedtime, so they can get the rest they need to recover from this systemic condition. I hope this helps your friend!
