1 of 7. Dried Figs. No doubt about it, figs are a superfood. Full of fiber, they are also a great source of copper, potassium, manganese, and pantothenic acid. But when you take the water out of a fig, youâre left with a tiny, toothsome nugget dense in nutrients, fiberâand carbs. Mindlessly pop half a dozen dried figs and youâve just consumed more than 30 grams of carbohydrates!
Treatment for Shingles While there is no specific cure for shingles, early treatment with antiviral medication is important for preventing complications and speeding up the healing process. Common medications used to treat shingles include:
Several studies have examined how well Valtrex treats shingles, cold sores, and genital herpes. In one study, people younger than 50 years of age with shingles were treated with Valtrex within three days of the beginning of a rash. In people who were not treated with the drug, it took three days for the formation of new blisters to stop. For the people who were treated with Valtrex, the blisters stopped forming one day sooner. The drug will not, however, change the length or severity of postherpetic neuralgia, which is severe pain that can occur after the shingles rash has healed. Valtrex is also not a cure for shingles.
