Symptoms of Measles
Measles starts as a sore throat, cough, and fever and progresses to a rash that spreads from the head to the rest of the body. The rash stays for about five weeks, leaving a brown course that disappears slowly. The disease may cause pneumonia, meningitis, and ear infection in some cases. If a person is vaccinated, the condition may be mild without the high fever and cough.
Measles is more common in children with malnutrition and vitamin A deficiency. It is also common in people with a compromised immune system.

Doctors can treat measles based on the symptoms of the child. Fluids, nutritious food, vitamin A supplementation, and anti-fever medication can help. If there is a secondary bacterial infection, it can be treated with antibiotics. Rarely hospitalization is needed. We can easily prevent measles with the measles vaccine.
