If you have shingles, it's recommended to stay away from infants until the shingles rash has crusted over, which usually takes about 7 to 10 days after the rash appears. This is important because shingles can be contagious to those who have not had chickenpox or the varicella vaccine, potentially leading to serious illness in infants. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
I've heard that you should not be around children or pregnant women for 4 weeks after receiving the shingles vaccine - is that true?
I'm not a doctor. I have shingles and I have had it for two (2) years. I also as the patient don't see any signs of it going away any time soon.
NO!! Please stay away from the patient!!
No shingles of the mouth is not contagious. Shingles is not contagious in any form. The virus that causes shingles however, can cause chicken pox.
you shouldnt.
how long the doctor says
the biggest fear for infants and toddlers is being away from their parents. Parents should stay with the child as much as possible.
it's probably not a good thing to go to the beach with shingles because shingles can be very painful so you should just stay at home
It doesn't stay. It swims away.
When the blisters are open, with weeping, they are contagious, just like the chicken pox. It is extremely important to stay away from elderly people, infants and small children, pregnant women, and anyone who has never had the chicken pox while the shingles are in their contagious stage. Once the shingles have scabbed over, you are less likely to pass it on.
A matter of months.
Leave them alone and stay in your place where no one can go to and lock them out
