Brief Answer: Shingles is a viral infection by Herpes zoster. Detailed Answer: Hello Thank you for the follow up. Shingles is because of Herpes Zoster virus. The childhood infection of chicken pox which is acquired in childhood stays in the nerves and becomes reactivated later. The causes for reactivation are the conditions associated with decreased immunity. The treatment of the condition is by antiviral drugs in the form of acyclovir. Since you have already got examined by doctor and eye is not involved. It is a good sign that eye is not involved except for swelling. The swelling is because of reactionary edema and this will come down once the inflammation of the surrounding skin is reduced. The treatment you are on in the form of antiviral drugs is correct. Hence I advice you to continue the treatment as advised. Along with the treatment I advice you to rule out decreased immunity in the body as a cause for the reactivation of the infection. Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you. Thank you
