Hello,
Shingles may be unbearable. We use painkiller like Ibuprofen or Tramal. Besides this, we commonly give some drugs for neuropathic pain like Carbamazpine or Pregabalin. That work quite well.
You have to consult a doctor in case of headache. The treatment may require intravenous antiviral drugs like Acyclovir IV.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
