Each drug effect treatment varies from person to person. The most commonly used fast and effective drugs for shingles are antiviral drugs, which should be treated early.
1. Antiviral drugs: Herpes zoster is mainly caused by decreased defense function, resulting in varicella-zoster virus infection. You should cooperate with your doctor to give antiviral drugs such as vasiclovir and acyclovir as early as possible, which can effectively inhibit viral replication in the body and reduce viral activity, so as to achieve the therapeutic effect.
2. Painkillers: When suffering from herpes zoster, the virus will move along the nerves, and at the same time, it will also cause irritation to the nerves, triggering nerve inflammation and leading to neuralgia. So you should also follow the doctor’s instructions to take pain medication, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc., which can effectively relieve local pain symptoms.
3. Nutritional nerve medication: while taking the above medication, vitamin B1 tablets, methylcobalamin tablets and other nutritional nerve medication should be given to improve the pain symptoms.
All of the above medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor, avoid self-medication. If necessary, topical glycerin lotion can be used to relieve itching, and light therapy can be used to relieve pain.
