Herpes zoster is a viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus, with unilateral erythema on the skin and flakes, and clusters of blisters with significant pain as the main clinical manifestation. Honey water contains honey, so there is no problem for shingles patients to drink honey water. The main treatment for herpes zoster should be antiviral treatment, which can be given as acyclovir tablets or valacyclovir hydrochloride tablets, or combined with nerve-nourishing drugs, such as methylcobalamin tablets.
