Suggest Treatment For Shingles Infection On The Face And Ear
Since having Shingles that affect my face, right ear and nerves, on occasion my eyes do not focus together much like one is slightly higher than the other. I have visual migrains but do not believe they are involved. After resting a moment they become focused.

Hello,
If you have shingles in the face and ear usually I suggest starting treatment with acyclovir (intravenous or oral) for 7-10 days and corticosteroid drugs in order to short the time of infection and to prevent the inflammation.
I suggest meeting an occulist to define better your problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
