Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Herpes Zoster (
Shingles) is less problematic in children as compared to adults , it is infrequently associated with localized pain, hyperaesthesia, itching , the rash is mild, with new lesions appearing for a few days , complete resolution usually occurs within 1-2 weeks but sometimes, after severe blistering, scarring and discoloured skin can remain.
The risk for herpes zoster in healthy vaccinated children may be lower than in children who had wild-type
varicella disease but it still not certain , although risk of
chickenpox is definitely reduced by more than 95 percent in vaccinated children.
Apart form acycolvir , analgesics may be required for pain , keep a watch for secondary bacterial infection of lesions if
redness and pain increases .Topical lotions like
calamine lotion may be applied for soothing effect.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
*Always check for history of
allergy before taking any medicine.
Take care.
