Agree with Dr, M: Do see your doctor at your earliest as anti-viral treatment can prevent persistent pain, in case it is shingles. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Wish you good health!
