Actions to Take:

Request a prescription analgesic medication: Shingles is often extremely painful. Ibuprofen was ineffective, so stronger analgesics are likely needed.
Parameters to Monitor:
Pain: Pain monitoring assesses the effectiveness of analgesic and antiviral treatment.
Post-herpetic neuralgia (nerves): Monitoring for lingering nerve pain is crucial, as shingles can lead to long-term nerve damage.
