I have intercostal neuralgia, what should I do?

Patient's question:

I first experienced intercostal neuralgia, and the blisters appeared three days later. It hurts when I touch it. Now the neuralgia has subsided, but the blisters haven't healed yet. Hello, what should I do? Thank you to all the doctors and experts!

Doctor's answer:

Dear Inquirer,
Based on the information you have described, your condition appears to be herpes zoster, which is caused by the varicella-zoster virus. The main symptoms include clustered blisters arranged in a ring pattern, accompanied by pain.
It is recommended to apply Chong Liu Du Tong Tincture and Acyclovir Ointment externally, three times a day. Take Valacyclovir orally as prescribed. Rest well, avoid overworking, and do not strain yourself.
