What Does This Result Of Herpes Zoster Test Indicate?
I have swelling & pain right side of the face, I went hospital & doctor said this is herpes zoster. then they took test & results are below occasional pus cells epithelial cells and few gram positive cocci in pairs, few gram positive cocci in short chains Please advice me how the serious this & it is curable .....
Hi, It seems that there might be having super added bacterial infection on affected part. Herpes Zoster is a viral infection but as you are having bacterial infection might require proper antibiotic medicine with proper dosage and time. After full course you will be alright. Apply antibiotic cream or triple action cream locally. Ok and take care.
