What Is Rabies?
3. Fever
One of the earliest symptoms of rabies is a fever, and the patient may also feel a burning or tingling sensation where the infection took place. Patients with rabies are also likely to experience headaches, while nausea and vomiting are also likely to happen. The first symptoms will often appear just a few days after the infection took places.
In some cases it can be more than a year before the patient begins to experience any symptoms. When the symptoms do show, they are likely to be mistaken for a less serious disease like the flu to begin with. The symptoms will become considerably more severe, however.
