Developed Painful Cough, Headaches, Pain Behind Eyes And Sore Skin On Back. Related?
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing your query.
It will be helpful if you give more information on whether the pain sensation at your back is present on one side only or you are feeling it on both sides.
There can be a probability that you are developing herpes zoster at your back.
The painful sensation can appear before the appearance of herpetic rashes. Symptoms of cold and fever are usually associated with herpes zoster.
You should get yourself examined by a physician and take proper rest along with medicines like antihistaminic for cold and cough, and paracetamol for fever/headaches.
Antiherpetic medicines can be given if your doctor confirms it after examining you.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.

Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for your response.
Herpes is only on one side of body. As your pain is not localized so, herpes is unlikely the cause of pain.
Still I would advice you that you should be careful of any rash at back and get yourself examined medically.
I hope this answers your query. If you have any furthur query, please mention.
