    Now the itching is gone but there is intense pain.

    I hope it goes away soon. We treated Shingles at it's early stages.

    This is horrible, horrible, horrible!!!!!!!

    May be it’s due to the high dosage of tablets too. Need to cool his body . Try giving him some buttermilk twice a day or tender coconut water .
