My sister was given antibiotics for what they thought was an ear infection, she then felt like she was getting strep throat and went back to dr and was correctly diagnosed with shingles in her throat which started in her ear Did the intial antibiotics cause the shingles to go from her ear to her throat??
Hello, Thank you for trusting ChatDoctorAntibiotics will not cause the spread of viral infection like shingles. Management of shingles is with pain relievers like Tylenol and antiviral medications like acyclovir. Hope this answers your questionPlease ad Chat Doctor.
