8 Typical Measles Symptoms in Children

April 20, 2018 | New Articles: Conditions

Measles is a medical condition called Rubeola. This condition is very contagious. In fact, measles are responsible for the deaths of around 200 million individuals. It is caused by the rubella virus and is a highly endemic illness. This means that the virus may lie dormant among communities that may be resistant to the disease. If the rubeola virus enters a community that has not been exposed to it before, the consequences can become quite destructive and even deadly.

The virus breeds in the mucus that lines the nose and the throat of the individuals who are infected. A person who has the virus can spread the disease for up to four days before any symptoms are present. They can also spread the disease for up to five days after they begin having symptoms. Here are eight of the most typical symptoms of the measles among children
and some adults as well.

1. Fever

When you are running a fever it can be because of any number of things. A fever is one of the first ways that the body tries to fight off an infection. For this reason, a fever can be a tricky symptom to use to diagnose something like the measles. Often times when a person begins to run a high fever they are misdiagnosed with the flu. A temperature with the measles may be quite mild and then become severe in just a few days.

The fever will often spike as the skin rash starts to develop. It may even reach up to 105 degrees Fahrenheit. As the fever begins to go down, the measles rash will often start to go away as well. If you have not been feeling well and develop a fever, it is a good idea to contact your doctor so that you can be tested to determine what is causing your body to react this way.
