As the rash appears, so the patient will also begin to take on other symptoms. Among the most common of these symptoms is a fever which, as is usual, will often be accompanied by chills. This happens when the body begins to respond to the infection and tries to make the body an inhospitable place.
The response by the immune system to the infection can also result in some other symptoms, such as aching muscles and swollen lymph nodes. The patient will also sometimes have a stiff neck and a headache. If you have not taken the patient to see a doctor by now then you should do so.
