Thank you for query.usually antiviral drugs like acyclovir are given for herpes infection whether zoster or simplex .it may be zoster based on your description.they are quite costly and require multiple dose per day.try to get generic versions of the same may be cheaper. It is good if you take them in initial stage of disease. Later it may not be helpful
