The only thing that might help shin splints are supplements that reduce inflammation - fish oil, krill oil, turmeric...things like that.
Shin splints are usually due to wearing improper shoes when working out/running. I would head to your local shoe shop and buy a high quality shoe that is reasonably priced. The clerk at the store will help you find a shoe that is fitted perfectly for your feet.

having gone through this don't listen to your idiot friends who will tell you 'run through this'
proper and NEW shoes are 100% important, but that time has passed. once you start getting them the only cure is REST i am sorry to say
definitely invest in a good pair of orthotics as alot of shin splint cases are related to foot wear. It could help make a big difference.
I assume this is from running?
shin splints are caused by the tendons slapping on your shins. PERIOD.
you stop this from happening by having your foot slightly raised during your stride, and holding the shin muscles slightly firm.
every single distance runner on earth knows this.
and fwiw, heel striking makes this infinitely worse.
watch some youtube videos of distance runners, and you'll see what I'm talking about.
a proper stride lands near the center of the foot, not on the heel.

that's "the front of your foot slightly raised"

True. My bad. Still damned painful
I would look at training the muscle on the front of your leg. You want to have a balance between that and your calf.
