Cold Signs
In some cases, German measles might have symptoms that are similar to a common cold, but they are typically milder. These are often related to your upper respiratory system, include headaches, fatigue, inflamed bloodshot eyes, sneezing, and runny nose. Unlike influenza and cold, rubella doesn’t result in lung congestion, excessive coughing, or a sore throat. Most people might also have achy joints and signs similar to arthritis, lasting from 3 to 10 days. These are also common ways for rubella virus to spread through tiny droplets while you are coughing or sneezing. [4]
