If you have shingles, you can do little except apply calamine lotion to soothe the rash and take aspirin to ease the pain. You should see your physician, however, particulary if your face is affected. The physician may prescribe a more effective analgesic. In addition, you will need professional advice on how to protect your eyes.

I had Shingles for the first time a few weeks ago. I am normally in good health and haven't had any other health challenges before, so it came as a surprise.
Shingles is probably the most painful thing I have ever encountered. I went to the doctor, and he gave me some prescription drugs to take that was suposed to help, but didn't.
My wife found the Fast Shingles Cure ebook online and bought it for me, I am very lucky to have such a wonderful woman in my life. We followed the book, did what it said, and it delivered what it promised. Finally my Shingles rash is over... I feel truly blessed and thankful.

I am sure your doc must have given you an antiviral medicine (acyclovir) for shingles. It would take about 48 hours to decrease the pain with that medicine alone. If the pain is unbearable.... you could take any analgesics like paracetamol, ibuprofen etc.
If there are blisters inside the eye... make sure you keep that area clean wash gently with water.
Dont worry if the treatment has started its just matter of hours that the pain will go down.
All the best.

When I was like 9 I had shingles. Yeah, it did hurt really bad... but I don't think they did anything about it except not let me leave home.

Nonprescription pain medications, such as acetaminophen, aspirin, or ibuprofen, which may help reduce pain during an attack of shingles.
Try some Aleve; it seems to help me with severe pain
Good Luck

Call your Doctor and ask him or her if they can give you something for this horrible pain. If they can't then ask them what they think that you should try for it. Good Luck

I assume that he gave you meds for the shingles. Take Aleve.
