A member asked:

What can i do for pain from shingles in the eye?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pain rx, antivirals: Antivirals can help diminish pain if used early in the acute phase (with the rash) but are not useful later. If the pain persists strongly after the rash is gone, pain specialists may be needed.
