Hello and welcome to HCM,
I'd like to ask are you sure its herpes. Did you consult the doctor within 72hours of symptoms. You havent been prescribed an antiviral which is standard protocol for herpes zoster infection within 72 hours of appearance of symptoms.
But if you had consulted your physician after 72 hours, it'd have been ineffective, in that case take the above medications, and it'll resolve gradually.
Hope I helped.
