2. Headache
Headaches are common, and many people experience them. They are often just a sign of stress, fatigue, poor vision, or high blood pressure, but they can also be a sign of a disease or illness. When a body is fighting an illness, a headache is often a symptom. The body works hard to fight off illnesses, and this can put a strain on the body causing the headache.
Since a fever also often accompanies the fifth disease, dehydration can be another reason for the headache. As with most other symptoms, a headache can be treated but may return until the underlying cause is dealt with. Pain medications and fluids are the most common ways to treat a headache. Rest can also help. A headache is often one of the first symptoms of the fifth disease and can also be one of the most unpleasant. Luckily, they can be dealt with and relieved fairly easily.
