Shingles - how to recover faster after an illness? Home treatment support would be helpful

Shingles is not very contagious, but it starts very quickly and attacks more violently if we get it. That’s why:

• stay at home for 2-3 weeks. Rest, drink plenty of fluids, eat vegetables and fruits or drink homemade smoothies and juices. Also take supplements with B-complex vitamins, which restore damaged nerves;
• cool sore spots. Baths in cool water and cold compresses applied to areas with rashes;
• do not expose the skin to additional stress and wear loose clothing from friendly natural fabrics;
• drink chamomile infusions and massage the sore spot with tea tree oil. Worth a tonic Linden infusion with the addition of raspberry juice or echinacea.

Symptoms at first are not very characteristic. Usually we take weakness, subfebrile condition, sore throat for a seasonal infection. Only when the virus is fully activated do signals appear that clearly indicate shingles.

Herpes? Again… This is an important signal of our resilience. Worth knowing how to treat it

Shingles: characteristic symptoms

• strong hyperesthesia skin along the nerve, i.e. increased skin sensitivity to touch, tickling, itching, burning, numbness, tingling sensation. Usually they appear on one half of the body, in a small area;
• erythema along the affected nerve;
• bubbles serous, fluid-filled, similar to that of chickenpox.

Shingles: what else can help

All you can do is calm down drawing pains and help the body defeat the virus. But the sooner we act, the better - early therapy will shorten the duration of the disease, and the pain will not last for months - with shingles, they can be really strong!

• The most severe symptom of shingles, which is unfortunately the most difficult to manage, is hyperesthesia. It usually goes away on its own when the illness goes away. To make this happen faster, you should use drugs with acyclovir (this is the substance that contains herpes medicines).
• For pain, a doctor will likely recommend over-the-counter remedies. In case of severe illness, he may prescribe injections.

SPA for the voice? This is not an exaggeration at all. It is also worth knowing how to amplify the voice and what its change indicates.
