I would suggest you to take acyclovir.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query at HCM
I understand your concern and situation.
You have been taking correct treatment. Yes you need to complete the dose of acyclovir for 5 days.Sometimes what you are having is nothing but non specific side effects of drug. Pantaprazole or omeprazole once daily will help you. The problem will wane off soon. Yes your scabs are healing and is good sign. Drink plenty of water. Drink a soup of your choice 2-3 times a day it will help you getting rid off your metallic taste.Do not catch your scabs. Take adequate rest for about a week. Acyclovir does not cure chickenpox, but it makes the symptoms less severe.
Hope I answered your query.

Hi
If you are not able to tolerate medicine then you may stop the drug. You can take centrally acting pain killer like gabapentin after doctors prescription to get relief from pain. Take adequate rest and visit a doctor for evaluation and proper examination of your back pain if pain is aggravating. Take mulivitamins and calcium supplements.
