1. Most prescribe steroids. The benefit is controversial. Conversely, 60mg of Prednisone for 7-10 days has only minor risks 2-The prognosis is so poor for Herpes Zoster Oticus cases that specialty consultation is required for patient satisfaction )that all possible was done( and for the PCP's medical legal protection. 3-Possible Lyme disease in endemic areas
