Started antivirals within 30 minutes of eyelid tingling — anyone do this BEFORE a rash and what happened?

I had my first outbreak around the same area (right eye, side of the nose and forehead) 3 years ago, it was mild and no eye involvement. Last night I got a tingle + a little burning in one spot on my eyelid when touched. Skin looks completely normal. No redness, no bumps, no blisters. Started antiviral right away. A day later still sensitive when touched, still no redness or rash.

Have anyone here started antivirals early, and what were your experiences?
