Well, I don't have a rash, just a shingles-like skin tingling sensation... I should go to the doctor...
Before visible symptoms, pain or discomfort appears in the affected area. This is called prodromal pain, which can appear in a wide variety of ways, including tingling, prickling, dull ache, creeping, and itching. A typical case of shingles is the appearance of a red rash after a few days to a week of prodromal pain.
- Ugh, this.
- from shingles
Unusually, the activity of the virus is suppressed by the immune system, so symptoms do not occur. However, when the immune system is weakened due to aging, fatigue, stress, or illness, the virus ramps up again and painful shingles appear.
The virus causes inflammation of the nerves, so the pain is said to precede and then follow the skin symptoms. Some people have a stabbing pain and cannot sleep.
- This is exactly what it feels like, not so much like a "stabbing pain" but more like the prickly side of Velcro growing on the back of your clothes.
- from shingles
- bless you
I couldn't sleep because I was so anxious, so I took Cedes.
I went to the doctor.
- Cough suppressants, expectorants, and medications to reduce throat inflammation were given.
- For nerve pain, "I'll give you vitamins.
- What, the only means is vitamins?
Eat Famichiki and take medicine.
-
- cute
- You'll want to open it.
Even if there is pain from shingles, they can't give antiviral drugs this time because the rash hasn't appeared yet, so they just use vitamins to promote nerve repair.
- [They say, "You have to work on your own immunity.
- From now on, I'm going to check every morning to see if I have a rash, and if I do, I'm going to say, "I've got shingles! Give me medicine!" I have to go to the doctor and say "I've got shingles!
- What if I have to take the pills in 24 hours?
- Can you please give me my meds first?
- Is there some rule that prevents me from getting it out?
- 抗生物質は無闇矢鱈に出すと耐性菌が発生しやすくなるけど、ウイルスでもそういうのがあるのかな
I'm feeling better, but my wife's temperature has gone up to 37.7 degrees.
I ate curry and took medicine, "remember to take your medicine" was accomplished first for one day.
sleepy
Go to bed, get up and take a bath.
- They view taking a bath as a ritual based on the belief that warming up the body makes one healthy, rather than as a form of surface hygiene.
- Prepare water at the proper temperature and let the person warm up until he or she is just right.
The disease of philosophical zombies.
