Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings from Dr Divakara P
Thanks for posting your query.
Well shingles is know to affects the nerves near by and what problems you are experiencing is due to nerve getting affected by the shingles .
This sensation can last from 1-4 weeks and if you have having significant trouble then I would recommend you get a prescription of Carbamazapine drug which shall give you good relief.
Apart from Carbamazapine I have got good relief in my patients with Gabapentin also . Kindly get yourself started on any of these.
But with the past history you have I would recommend you to get examined by an Opthalmologist to check whether the shingles are affecting your eye or not.
Hope you have been already started on Anti viral tablets like Famciclovir or Gamciclovir.
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
Regards.
