Can homeopathic medications treat herpes zoster infections?

Question

Hello doctor,

The right side of my head has been hurting for the past four weeks. I took medicine from a local clinic but did not get relief. After that, I noticed that my right ear was completely red, and on the same day, the right side of my face stopped working. I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was herpes zoster and facial palsy. They gave me allopathic medicines and started therapy. Although the facial palsy has recovered 50 percent, I still have pain in my right head. If I put cotton in my ear, I get minor relief. Otherwise, pain travels from head to neck, sometimes on the ear and shoulder, and I also feel dizzy. I also have a few questions.

Is this really a herpes zoster? If yes, then pain and dizziness are due to this disease.
It has been four weeks since I got relief. Should I go for homeopathic treatment? Please explain further if I forgot something to ask about the disease.

Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Yes, these symptoms are solely due to herpes zoster. Herpes zoster can cause such symptoms as pain, dizziness, and facial paralysis. Usually, it takes time to recover completely, so I would suggest continuing the same treatment, and you will get relief in the upcoming one to two weeks. Homeopathic medications will not be useful in this condition, so please continue with the same treatment. If you stop taking medications, then facial paralysis may worsen. Please tell me what medicines you are taking so I can prescribe you medicine for pain.

I hope this helps.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
