What is Shingles?
Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a painful viral infection caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus—the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus remains dormant in nerve tissue near the spinal cord and brain. Years later, it can reactivate and travel along nerve fibers to the skin, causing a characteristic rash with fluid-filled blisters.
The most common symptoms include:
- A painful, burning, or tingling sensation.
- A red rash that typically appears on one side of the body.
- Fluid-filled blisters that break open and crust over.
- Itching.
- Fever, headache, and fatigue.
Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to minimize pain and prevent long-term complications.
Our Shingles Treatment Services
At Divine Grace Hospital, we offer a multi-faceted approach to shingles care. Our expert dermatologists and general physicians work together to create a personalized treatment plan for each patient.
- Antiviral Medication: We use powerful antiviral drugs to shorten the duration of the illness, reduce the severity of symptoms, and lower the risk of complications. These medications are most effective when started within the first 72 hours of the rash’s appearance.
- Pain Management: Shingles pain can be severe. We provide a range of pain relief options, including oral painkillers, nerve pain medications, and topical creams to help manage your discomfort effectively.
- Preventing Complications: Our primary goal is to prevent post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), a chronic and often debilitating nerve pain that can persist for months or even years after the rash has healed. We provide proactive care to reduce your risk.
- Shingles Vaccine (Shingrix): We offer the highly effective Shingrix vaccine to help prevent shingles in eligible adults. The vaccine is the best way to protect yourself from both the disease and its complications.
- Holistic Care: As a hospital that integrates Allopathic and Ayurvedic principles, we offer complementary therapies to support your overall healing and recovery.
