Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Have torso Shingles since April 3. Doctor prescribed treating with wet compression followed when dry with Calomine lotion or sanitised cream. I alternate treatment using Savlon antiseptic cream, Also prescribed Panadeine for pain relief ( Codiene phosphate 8mgs, Paracetamol 500mgs ), maximum 6 per 24hrs. However the panadiene it would appear caused severe constipation requiring use of suppositories. Doctor then prescribed Amitriptyline 25mgs; twice per day which has cleared the constipation. but now I experience abject sleepiness. I am in my 92 year. Would appreciate any thoughts you may have
