I can understand your concern for the fluid filled bumps over one side of your face. After analyzing the complete query I make a diagnosis of herpes zoster also known as shingles. The typical description given by you matches with the same.
I request you to kindly send a good resolution picture of the affected area. For that you have a feature on the right side of the page.
It is better that you should meet your primary care physician and get the diagnosis confirmed. An earliest of therapy helps to resolve and manage the condition best.

Take proper dose of antiviral and pain killers.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your further follow up.
I am really empathic to know that you have shingles as I suspected.
It is really good that you have started with antiviral tablets. Shingles is one of the most painful conditions and takes minimum two weeks to get better. The most important part is the starting of antiviral tablets. If it is started within 48 hours then the effect is good. It is less effective if started after 72 hours. I suggest you to kindly take the same strictly as recommended by your doctor.
It is the pain part which is most troublesome in persons above 50 years of age. In my patients I suggest them to take Paracetamol with tramadol in for two times in a day and Pregabalin at night time.
I suggest you to have proper follow up with your treating doctors for earliest recovery.
My best wishes for your earliest recovery.
With regards,
Dr Sanjay Kanodia
