Condition analysis:
You should take acyclovir 800 mg 5 times a day for at least 5 days . The exact duration of treatment will be decided by your treating doctor.

Instructions:
1) Baking Soda:
Create a cold compress of water and baking soda to treat shingles pain and blisters.

2) Cool Bath:
Soak in a cool bath to soothe the itch and discomfort of blisters.

3) Relaxation Techniques:
Stress can actually cause shingles pain to worsen, which is why it’s important to learn how to calm down and relax. Listening to music, meditating, watching movies, reading a book, or enjoying your favorite hobbies are just some ways to keep your mind off of your symptoms.
