I was diagnosed about three days after outbreak. taking famciclovir and prednisone, osycodone for pain. for the past three days each day the swelling seems to increase. blisters on eyelids. saw opthalmologist yesterday. said no eye damage. wonder how long will it take for the swelling to stop. finally today saw one blister begin to crust over. concerned about the continuing swelling on right side of face.
