Brief Answer:
Can be shingles

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.

I can guess that the soreness, burning sensation and small sores can be caused by shingles.
It would be advisable that you attach a picture of the eye
You can continue to take Tylenol or acetaminophen for the discomfort.
Also you can take antivirals such acyclovir ointment and tables.
