I'm really concerned about something that's been happening since I had herpes zoster shingles a couple of weeks ago. I had rashes on my neck and shoulders, all on the left side, but they've mostly cleared up now. However, this morning I noticed I can only twitch my left eye. I came across something online about herpes zoster ophthalmicus, and I'm worried this could be a late effect of the shingles. What should I do about this?

Question

I've been using my air conditioner in the room for quite a while, and now I'm experiencing some pain and redness just in my left eye. It's really uncomfortable, especially since I can't even close my left eye properly because the upper lid hurts, and there's this reddish tint on the lower lid. On top of that, I'm trying to study for my exams, which makes it even more frustrating. Do you have any recommendations for something that can help soothe this?
