No, a runny nose isn't a symptom of TSS.
Initial symptoms of TSS include;
- Sudden high fever (38°C/100.4°F).
- Low blood pressure.
- Nausea and/or vomiting.
- sunburn-like skin rash.
- Diarrhoea or constipation.
- Fainting or feeling faint.
- Dizziness and confusion
- Muscle aches.
Symptoms can vary greatly from person to person and depending on which organs are effected, but with all cases you'd have high fever and low blood pressure - you'd feel very ill, like having a bad case of flu. If you don't have a fever TSS is unlikely.
