Antiviral medication for shingles is usually given in cycles of 7-10 days. If herpes zoster occurs with Hunter’s syndrome, the corresponding antiviral treatment should be extended to 14 days or more, depending on the actual condition. Commonly used antiviral drugs include acyclovir, which is advocated for 5-10 consecutive days, or vaxilovir, both of which can control the development of lesions, reduce systemic symptoms and pain, and decrease the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia. If herpes zoster occurs in the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve, antiviral treatment should be used as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the eye. When herpes zoster in the ear causes the appearance of Hunter’s syndrome, antiviral treatment is extended to more than two weeks. In addition to antiviral treatment for shingles, symptomatic treatment such as pain relief should be given. Pain medication can be used for 1-2 weeks to relieve pain, but if postherpetic neuralgia occurs, the application of pain medication may last longer, some people even use it for three months to six months. Also, nerve-nourishing drugs such as vitamin B1, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 can be used during the cycle of shingles treatment.
