Bringing up a child requires much attention and extra care to ensure the maximum health of the baby. Babies are vulnerable to illnesses and infections where one of them is Measles. You realize that Measles is a childhood infection that comes as a result of a virus attack. Nowadays, measles infection has gone down at a higher rate from the numerous efforts by health organizations and governments to eradicate the disease. The illness, also called Rubeola, usually affects small children and can be fatal if not treated immediately. It’s still prevalent in many parts of the world, and every parent needs to be cautious about the illness and here are the ten symptoms of measles that you should watch out.
Fever
The first and eminent symptom that you will notice from a child infected with measles is a high fever. The fever indicates that the body temperature of the child has risen above the normal level. The increase in temperature beyond the point known as set point causes muscle contraction that causes one to feel cold. The contractions of the muscles result in the production of excess heat to bring back the average temperatures. At such a point, you realize that the baby sweats profusely where you need to take precautions as soon as possible. High fevers in children require immediate attention where you need to take the child to a medical facility for further analysis and diagnosis of measles. [1]
