I was diagnosed with Shingles 3 days ago and have been taking anti viral and pain control medications since then. The rash is from my forehead over my right eyebrow into my head but luckily no blisters below my eyebrow. My eyelid has been gradually becoming more swollen and so it is drooping very badly where I am having trouble with my vision and it feels as though something is irritating the eye surface. I am having alot of pain around the eye and also my ear. I am 38 year female otherwise healthy and want to know will my eye return to normal once the rash dissappears or should I return to my doctor for further treatment or medication. I am anxious to avoid any long term damage.
Many thanks for your time,
