Antiviral**: This is the basis of shingles. Antiviral drugs can be taken orally or intravenously to effectively inhibit viral replication and reduce symptoms.

Physics**: Physical methods such as ultraviolet irradiation and infrared irradiation can promote the drying and crusting of herpes and relieve pain.
Traditional Chinese Medicine**: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that herpes zoster is related to dampness and heat in the liver and gallbladder, so it can be carried out with traditional Chinese medicine that clears away heat and detoxifies**. At the same time, TCM** methods such as acupuncture and cupping can also help relieve pain.
