I am suffering from herpes zoster from almost 5 days. I found confirmation on almost 4th day so I stated home remedies and precautions hand wash before touching my 2.5 month baby. 5th day my treatment started. Means 25 sept. How I check is my son affected or not as before I used to touch him and slept near him.
