Hello, This is Dr. Papaqako answering your question. Shingles occurs when the virus that causes chickenpox starts up again in your body. After you get better from chickenpox, the virus sleeps in your nerve roots. In some people, it stays sleeps forever. In others, the virus wakes up when disease, stress, or aging weakens the immune system. Most people who get shingles will get better and will not get it again. But it is possible to get shingles more than once. If you have shingles, symptoms happen in stages. At first you may have a headache or be sensitive to light. You may also feel like you have the flu but not have a fever. Later, you may feel itching, tingling, or pain in a certain area. That s where a band, strip, or small area of rash may occur a few days later. I don t think the fever is connected with shingles, but it may be another virus, that because of low immunity have reactivated a simple Herpes lesion. That because the time difference between the lesions and fever is large. Treat it as a common cold. But if in 3-5 days, is not getting better, or is worse, then I would recommend to see a doctor. Hope this helps, Take care.
