My daughter has been diagnoised with shingles. It started as a rash on her back and now has moved to her chest. The blistering rash is approximatley 6x4 on her back! She is on megadoses of antivirals and now on Lortab for the pain. Even taking 10/500 Lortab she still has break through pain. Due to her age this is the max dosage for her. It knocks her out so bad! Now it is starting to itch. Any suggestions on dealing with the itch and the added pain. She is just miserable!!! It rips my heart out when she is screaming "Mommy make it stop!" Because it is inflamation of the nerves any touch, even the slightest on her hand hurts her. All I can do is attempt to comfort her verbally. I feel helpless We need help
