Is Shingles Contagious Despite Taking Homeopathic Treatment?

I have Shingles, they started about a month ago and I started taking “CLEAR Cold sores, shingles and UTIU S” is a Homeopathic I took this medicine because the one the doctor prescribe the time before made me sick. This time I took the same medicine when I notice the same itching and like little bumps, I checked with the doctor and she said it was Shingles. I took the same medicine for two weeks and when the sore went away I stopped taking it then two days or so after I started to fill this itching in different parts of my body but did not see any sores, then under the place where I had the previous sore a bump appeared although it had not developed any blisters then I started to take the “CLEAR” again and it has gone away I’m still taking it because I asked the maker of the I still have the itching some times more than others on different parts of my body. My question is I ‘m contagious to other people at this point? When I started with the Shingles and did not know I briefly came in contact with my daughter in law and she developed Bell’s Palsy she was pregnant at the time, she just had the baby. Did I infect her? And can I even get near the baby? Thank you for your response.

Hi,

Shingles is contagious when taking medicines. Homeo and allopathy are not preventive of transmission rate of the disease.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
