Chicken pox

Hi,

My daughter had chickenpox last week, wasn’t that bad with it just a few spots. This week I keep on getting such bad migraines (never usually a migraine sufferer). I have no spots and feel well apart from the headaches. Could it be shingles?

Thanks

You cannot ‘catch’ Shingles from someone with Chickenpox.

And the incubation period is 14 days.

Incubation for chicken pox is roughly 10-21 days. You don't get shingles from chicken pox. You need to have had chicken pox on the past to get shingles as shingles is the chicken pox virus reactivating.
