Could I have the onset of shingles without blisters yet.The right side of my haed and face hurt + ear drained?

Question

I don't have blisters yet but the right side of my face and my ear hurts. My ear has drained three times and I've had a headache for a week. Now I have flu like tenderness on the whole right side of my head and face. I have an earache and my eye on that side is starting to hurt too. my throat on the same side I think has a bump on it today and I have been under a great deal of stress. I had chicken pox and scarlett fever at the same time when i was five I am now 40. I cannot see my Dr untill Friday and the ER here is a big joke. without blisters could this be the onset of shingles? signed without a clue till friday

Answer 1

It sounds like you have a very bad ear infection..I had one last year and I had the same symptoms.

Answer 2

So sorry to hear you have shingles. My daughter had it and the only way to get rid of them isgo to the doctor's and get medicane, and wait it out; its just like the chicken poxs. And that I know all about.
