Shingles treatment’s time is crucial.

Golden hour is 72h for the antiviral medications. 💊
At early stage, you might not notice the rash/blisters but you might have burning, tingling or itching sensations with fatigue and/or headache.

Areas of symptoms are usually on the chest, back, under the armpit, abdomen, pelvis and rarely even on the face.

If you don’t get the treatment in time, it can leave post-herpetic neuralgia, which can last for few months or even few years. 😖

Acupuncture treatments may help to prevent having further neuralgia and boost recovery. ❤️‍🩹

Timing is the key! Go check with your doctor if you have those symptoms!
