You have shingles your 5 yr old granddaughter just got a stye are they connected?

No, shingles and a stye are not connected.

Shingles is a viral infection that causes a painful rash. It is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which is the same virus that causes chickenpox. Shingles can occur in anyone who has had chickenpox, but it is most common in people over the age of 50.

A stye is a small, red, and swollen bump that occurs on the edge of the eyelid. It is caused by a bacterial infection. Styes are common in children, but they can occur at any age.

Shingles and a stye are not related to each other. They are caused by different viruses and bacteria, and they affect different parts of the body.
