Question: The Dr prescribed VALTREX-I ALSO PICKED UP some Benadryl. I am concerned about that the fact that my left eye has become itchy and is quite red. We are now on vacation and I want to do what should/needs to be done. I am not one that likes to complain but I do not want this to get any wors I do not like to feel itchy all time.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

I am sorry to hear that you are have a itchy red eye. You were given Valtrex because there was a concern about having facial shingles? How long ago were you diagnosed with shingles? and how long have you been taking the valtrex?

Once you answer these questions I may better answer your questions and concerns

Look forward to hearing back from you.
