My mom has ramsay hunt syndrome and it has been going on for about 3 or 4 days now and we just went to the hospital how long is it going to take for r?

Better in a few days: For others, RHS is herpes zoster (shingles) near an ear and the faciaI nerve. Does "r" mean relief? With acyclovir or valycyclovir, new lesions should stop appearing within 48 hours, and existing ones should start to improve within 3-5 days. It will take a couple of weeks for complete healing of rash. Facial nerve paralysis can take longer to clear (unfortunately, sometimes is permanent.)
