Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ve had a shingles like rash on my shoulder for over a week my Gp prescribed flucloxacillin antibiotic for the treatment of shingles will this medication treat the virus? The rash has calmed from its severity its still painful however it seems to be getting better I am wondering if this antibiotic is really going to treat it. As it says it s a bacterial antibiotic.

It is a self limiting disease and should go in two weeks,and no flucloxacillin is not going to help unless there is superadded bacterial infection.
