Didn’t know there is a treatment for reaction. Let us know
@LnzyHou
No "particular" treatment. Seems mainly local. Use Benadryl cream and oral, some Tylenol. Watch for other symptoms.
Still better than shingles.
I had zero reactions from Shingrix. My pharmacist was amazed as most folks have some sort of reaction.
Agree ANY reaction better than shingles.
@LnzyHou @CinnamonGirlE Same. Zero reactions from both shots. And not one time have I heard anybody say “Shingles? Oh, it’s not so bad.” All I’ve heard are horror stories about the pain and discomfort.
@FabulousLVNV @LnzyHou @CinnamonGirlE it's BAD. My husband was of those unlucky people to get shingles young, and he still has nerve pain in his arm where the shingles virus damaged it.

Sorry to hear this. I have never personally experienced it, but have seen my daughter go through it for decades as well as scores of patients. Got my vax this year and am glad.
