My DD aged 3 had shingles approx 3 months ago. She was prescribed acyclovir at the time of the outbreak, but the course was probably started too late to have any effect.
Since having shingles, whenever DD is poorly (with unrelated illnesses), she gets pains in the original shingles site.
Has anyone else experienced shingles with their children? If so, how long did the afterpains last for? Is there anything you did to help relieve the pain?
Thanks in advance
