General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Looks like you are suffering from shingles, a viral infection.
If its within 72 hours you have these symptoms, use valacyclovir, 1000mg three times daily for 7 days.
And for pain management use Esomperazole 40mg, once daily with Naproxen 500mg 2 times a day.
Pregabalin 75mg at bed time. You can take pregabalin upto 150mg 2 times a day depending upon the severity of pain.

Get well soon.
