Symptom #3: Headaches

Most of the cases of the West Nile virus are mild and only cause flu-like symptoms. One of those non-specific symptoms is a headache. In the context of a patient with this condition, it is usually difficult to diagnose during the early stages of the disease due to its resemblance to many other conditions.

It is important to know that even though headaches can be nothing to worry about, they can also be a sign of alarm that other conditions associated with the virus are developing, especially meningitis and/or encephalitis.
