Herpes zoster probably hurts a lot for a few days

Herpes zoster is a viral disease caused by varicella-zoster virus infection. The main symptom of herpes zoster is neuralgia, which must be treated promptly once diagnosed. If not treated promptly, the pain of herpes zoster may last for a long time. Depending on the patient's immunity, the short pain may last for 1-2 weeks, and the long pain may last for 1-6 months or even longer. Therefore, herpes zoster must be treated in time after blistering, especially in the first 1 or 2 weeks of treatment. Generally, famciclovir capsules can be taken orally under the guidance of a doctor, and vitamin B1 and adenosine cobalamin can be injected intramuscularly for treatment. For patients with severe pain, gabapentin, pregabalin and other painkillers can be added to relieve pain.
