What Is Toxic Shock Syndrome?
4. Fever
Toxic shock syndrome can also cause a high fever. This is not uncommon and not usually something to worry about, meaning a fever on its own is unlikely to alert people to a problem. The fever will be a little unusual, however, in that it will come on very suddenly.
In addition, the patient eyes can also turn red, as can their throat and their mouth. The patient is also likely to start feel severe aches and pains in their joints and muscles. These symptoms, when they develop suddenly, are a sign that the patient is probably in need of emergency medical assistance.
