Hi
Mum's 85 and was prescribed an anti viral and a strong pain killer. The latter brought on massive confusion so was discontinued. She's in a lot of pain, not sleeping and managing with paracetamol and calamine lotion, supplemented by hot water bottles/ wheat bags. Doc Has prescribed another ointment but she refuses to try it as the leaflet mentions it might induce a brief burning sensation. Demonstrated on my own hand over a small cut. Won't touch it.
Any suggestions?
