Chills

Chills are also among the common warning signs of shingles before the rash breaks out. The chills are experienced because of body temperature fluctuations as well as the body’s natural response to flare-ups or viral infections. Shingle-related chills tend to affect the whole body. They may be mistaken for a regular flu because they happen before the rash breaks out. Chills can be contained using palliative treatment like most shingles symptoms. Palliative treatment focuses on improving a patient’s level of comfort. It can be challenging managing chills on your own because they involve drastic swings in body temperature.
