Suggest Treatment For Herpes Zoster
I had been suffering from Herpes Zoester. I took the prescribed medicines for 10 days and now I am taking a single pill (Neurokind G) at night. This ailment left a scar on my right cheek which is slowly peeling off. It has affected the nerves of the region from my right eye to the upper lip. Right side of my upper teeth are also affected and it pains a lot whenever cold or hot water comes in contact with them. Could you help?

Hi
Welcome to Health care magic.
It seems from the history that you are having post hermetic neuralgia following episode of herpes zoster.
This requires treatment by the use of analgesic tablets and other specific drugs like tricyclic antidepressants. It is very painful condition but can be treated with drugs.
Do consult your doctor for examination and prescription of appropriate drugs.
