When I saw my the eye doctor, she told me about the fact that yes, you can get a multiple times and if I do, that you can take a maintenance pill of the same medication you take for the shingles only it’s much less dose and only one time a day instead of three times a day for the 10 days

She said she does this because she gets cold sores, which is from the same virus basically

I don’t know if that would help you to maybe prevent it from happening to you again.

I plan on talking to my primary doctor about it
