Pain relief and antiviral medication such as aciclovir or valaciclovir. A chickenpox vaccine in childhood or a shingles vaccine as an adult can minimise the risk of developing shingles.

Apply cool compresses to ghav (sores) many times a day to relieve pain and itching if any. Also you can apply Acyclovir ointment (brand name Zovirax) and penciclovir cream (brand name Denavir) over the sores. Both work to speed up the healing process and reduce the viral activity.
THANK YOU.

You have not mentioned the drug you have taken for 3 days and is there any ulceration. For Spreading or ulcerative lesions topical acivir is not sufficient and you require systemic drug. You must take Oral Aciclovir 800 mg tablet 5 times a day for both cure and to prevent recurrence for 10-14 days. Take plenty of water as aciclovir is capable of causing kidney stones. But consult a physician for exact diagnosis and management. Herpes is uncommon in adults. And represents stressful life style and...more

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
If you forget a dose of aciclovir, take it (or use the cream or eye ointment) as soon as you remember, unless it's nearly time for your next dose. In this case, just skip the missed dose and continue with your next one at the usual time. Never have 2 doses at the same time.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a treatment plan for you.
