Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I read and understand your concern. I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern. Yes, in your case both sternous activity and steroid had created complication. In some cases of herpes infection corneal ulcer or keratitis can occur which can be complicated further. I advice you not to take steroid treatment. As it can cause further ulceration silently. Steroid can initially cures your problem but can worsen later on. So try to avoid the steroid. You can take acyclovir eye drops under your doctors guidance. This can treat your infection. Please take gabapentin for pain and vitamin B complex for better neural recovery. Please maintain good ocular hygiene by frequent cleaning with sterile normal saline. This can help you fight infection better. Please wear sunglasses over eye as they reduce eye strain and prevent further corneal damage. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun. Thank you, Dr Arun Tank Infectious diseases specialist, HCM.
