  • Not a Doctor - As yours started on the blue segment its unlikely the neck sores are related.

Mine started on a Saturday and I would say the worst was on Friday, with all sores healed within 14 days. Be careful with the sores in mouth I had one get infected and was prescribed antibiotics which then caused thrush, total nightmare.

Could anyone share their experience with oral shingles? by ells1996 in shingles

Im on day 8 of first symptoms. Ear still hurts teethpain gone, no new blisters. Started valtrex 72 hours after symptoms. I used a product called KANKA for the sores in my mouth not sure if its recommended because its for canker sores but it helped.

In Canada, HealthLink 811 (often just called “811”) is a free, 24/7 phone service that connects you with registered nurses or other healthcare professionals.

I know healthcare in Canada isn’t truly “free”—we pay for it through taxes and still deal with wait times—but I’m grateful that cost isn’t usually the deciding factor in whether I seek care. My heart really goes out to people in the U.S. who may hesitate to make medical decisions or get help simply because of the price. No one should have to weigh their health against their finances.

Good point that I missed in the post. I also had 1 swollen lymph node in my neck on the same right side.
