I have a problem in my nose. It started about four weeks ago. I was driving and had a feeling like somebody was stabbing me in the nose with an ice pick. It felt like what shingles would affect me. It goes and comes without warning or with a very bad pain in the left side of my nose. I refer to the shingles because that comes in part to somebody under stress, and I was at that time four weeks ago. Lastr night it was very painful.
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Only burning pain is not the symptom of the shingles. Shingles are associated with burning pain plus fluid filled blister on affected site. If you have such a symptom than you can think that it is shingles and requires a treatment. In such case I request you to take acyclovir under your doctors' guidance. Gabapentin and vitamin B 12 can also be taken as it can also help in prevention of pain in shingles. Please maintain good hygiene as it can help prevent infection. Completed treatment of shingle can prevent future relapse. Please wear cotton cloth as it can also help in shingles pain. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
