First-line treatment with <strong>antiviral therapy<\/strong> such as valacyclovir, famciclovir, or acyclovir should be started within <strong>72 hours<\/strong> of rash onset. Over-the-counter pain medications or opioids can help control the acute pain, which can be debilitating. Pain intensity during the acute attack predicts the development of <strong>postherpetic neuralgia<\/strong>. Amitriptyline and pregabalin reduce postherpetic neuralgia pain significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roshreview.com\/?attachment_id=2428\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roshreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Image-Varicella-Zoster-Shingles-Herpes-zoster.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2428\" width=\"488\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roshreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/Image-Varicella-Zoster-Shingles-Herpes-zoster.png 651w, https:\/\/www.roshreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/Image-Varicella-Zoster-Shingles-Herpes-zoster-300x260.png 300w, https:\/\/www.roshreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/Image-Varicella-Zoster-Shingles-Herpes-zoster-600x521.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 488px) 100vw, 488px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>24 hours (A)<\/strong>, <strong>36 hours (B)<\/strong>, and <strong>48 hours (C)<\/strong> are incorrect because antiviral therapy is recommended up to 72 hours after onset of clinical symptoms.
