Drooping Eyelids
Drooping eyelids can be a symptom of internal shingles, but it’s not the only one. It’s important to know that a drooping eyelid can also indicate an underlying health condition. If a doctor suspects a person has a severe illness like Bell’s palsy or stroke, they may conduct additional tests to rule out these conditions.
The treatment for drooping eyelids caused by internal shingles is typically medication and rest, but there are several things they can do to help prevent this symptom. These include getting immunized against the virus that causes chickenpox and zoster (the clinical name for shingles) and using eye drops approved by the FDA if symptoms persist.
However, if they are experiencing this symptom, it’s essential to see a doctor as soon as possible. The longer they wait, the more likely the condition may progress and cause other problems.
