Monkeypox Alert: Key Early Symptoms To Watch Out For

Early signs and symptoms of monkeypox typically appear within 5 to 21 days after exposure. Initial symptoms may include fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue. Swollen lymph nodes are a distinctive feature, often occurring before the rash. After a few days, a rash develops, beginning as flat lesions that progress to raised bumps and then form pus-filled blisters.
