After having herpes Zoster for last more than 25-26 days, still there is a swelling in two or three fingers on the front side of hand. Already completed anti viral course. Presently taking Tryptomer 10 mg in the night and Ultracet or ibuprofen SOS. Also applying fucidin ointment one time on fingers. Still there is a pain on the left arm up to shoulder. Suggest some effective medicine.

Hello, Thanks for the query. Herpes zoster, takes fairly long time to resolve completely. Antiviral treatment needs to be continued for about 3 weeks. Other measures are basically palliative to reduce pain and irriation. Fucidin application is not required as it is a viral condition. You may apply some emolient cream. Thanks.
