Question: what do you do if you think you have shingles?
Answer: If you suspect you have shingles, it's important to go to the doctor as soon as possible. If you have shingles, your doctor can give you an antiviral medication that lessens the pain and duration of it. If you're over 50, get vaccinated. Zoster vaccine (Shingrix) can decrease your risk of shingles but not prevent it.
