Infection with shingles and fever is a common symptom, which is usually low and not serious. However, if the body temperature is too high, the situation is relatively serious.
Herpes zoster is mainly caused by varicella zoster virus infection, and the disease can also be triggered by factors such as low immunity and mechanical trauma. Usually, fever is a common symptom of herpes zoster, and most patients present with a low-grade fever, a condition that usually lasts one to five days and is not serious.
However, if the body temperature is too high, more than 38.5 ℃ need to be physically cooled down at the same time, given antipyretic drugs to lower the temperature treatment. If the fever persists, it is also necessary to consider whether it is caused by other diseases. It is because during the period of herpes zoster infection, the patient’s immunity is weak, and it is easy to be combined with other diseases and thus cause fever, which is relatively serious, and it is recommended that one should go to the hospital for examination to avoid delaying the condition.
If the infection of shingles and fever lasts for a longer period of time, you should go to a regular hospital, under the guidance of the doctor for treatment.
