Treatment of herpes Zooster - Shingles Part 1

There is no cure for herpes zooster. Once the virus is acquired, it always remains in the body. There are no treatments which can rid the body of the virus. Most medications available today can help shorten the infective period and reduce the possibility of complications.

Without treatment, shingles usually lasts a few weeks and resolves on its own. However, the pain and burning is so intense that most individuals desire some type of treatment.

For the best and most effective treatment of shingles, go and see a health care professional. The treatment of shingles is best done with some anti viral therapy and pain control.
