My husband had a flu shot at his school on Oct. 13. He started coughing on Oct. 15 and on Oct. 17 he had an ear ache and one spot on his head kept hurting. We thought it was sinus. Got ear drops and used them to no avail. On Friday, Oct. 24, he woke up with some red welts on his neck, thought it was bug bites. ear kept hurting and also the same side of his throat was a little scratchy. Head still ached a little at certain positions. Sunday afternoon, there were more red welts under his ear. I suspected shingles, but called the doctor Monday and went today, Tuesday. Yep, shingles! He is very fortunate that he doesn't have severe pain. Just the ear ache and little uncomfortable. I also thought of the flu shot. Of course, it would be denied that it set the shingles off.
