Pain, Swelling Followed By Shingles On Face. Relief From Swelling With Homeopathy Medicine, Blisters Present. Any Remedy?
My mother has got shingles/ blisters on the right side of her face with watery content. The problem began 10 days a with pain in the temples, 5 days later it became pain on the eyebrows and nose which started to swell. A day after the swelling began shingles / blisters started to appear on swollen areas, which caused the right eye too swell too. A little care and some homeopath reduced swollen areas to normal, but the blisters are still there, burning and watery (from the eyebrow to the tips of nose), causing neuralgic pains on the forehead and sometimes only on right side. My mother is 60+ years old, and since she has hardly ever gone to a doctor, she refuses to see one now herself.
Hi i think ur mother is suffering from herpes zoster or shingles .it is a viral infection caused by herpes virus.it is due to reactivation of virus due to immunosuppresion. It presents as pain and erythema followed by blister formation and swelling on one side of face.especially in dermatomal pattern. It is treated by antiviral valcivir 1000 mg thrice daily for one week.a antibiotic and combiflame twice daily along with application of calamine lotion. Sometimes in diabetic and geriatric patients pain persists even after infection is subsided.this is called post herpetic neuralgia .it can be treated by carbamazapine or gabapentine tablets
