Hi,
Usually pain due to nerve irritation from the viral infection can be relieved by medication such as Gabapentin or Amitriptyline. I suggest you to contact your neurologist and discuss about these medication.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Aashish Raghu, Orthopedic Surgeon
