I'm diagnosed with herpes zoster/shingles?


it's been 2 days. and this coming saturday, i'm going for a drink with my friends. will drinking alcoholic drinks cause my condition to be worse? what about a tad bit of alcohol, is that alright? thanks in advance.

Basically you have the adult form of chicken pox. If you are on any anti-virals alcohol may harm it's effectiveness. It is best to ask your doc. Normally doctors prescribe acyclovir for shingles. It is advised to drink plenty of fluids while on these types of medication and since alcohol dehydrates it may be wise to steer clear of alcohol until you seek professional advice.

i wouldnt drink but one and not a strong

Don't drink yet, wait until it clears up. If you still have the blisters = you are still contagious,
