I have had shingles several times on my right ear and symptoms
( pain at slightest touch)on the right side of my head since treatment ended.

The good news is that now i can feel it coming on and reflect what is happening in my life that is causing stress and deal with it.

Also to manage episodes timely my physician has given me a standing prescription to acyclovir, which if given wwithin 24-48 hours of onset can limit its progression.
