Herpes zoster
Hello, my mother 60yr old was diagnosed with herpes zoster few weeks back. We got her treated and after 7 -10 days medicine doctor cleared that infection is over and gave us megaheal for applying over wound as they got peeled due to location ( below breast and back).
He even said that infection is over but pain may stay for few weeks and even for a month.
Now her marks are going off but pain is still there .
Im attaching pic of prescription too of all medicines. pls advise what to do or if this is reoccuring.
She is hving ultracet as painkiller but as such no big relief
