Measles

is an infection common in children caused by virus. It is contagious and if an

infected child coughs or sneezes, the infected droplets spread in the air and may
infect the person close to the child. Person exposed to the virus might not show
symptoms until 8-10 days later
The people at highest risk of getting measles during these outbreaks are
infants (who aren't old enough to get the vaccine), pregnant women, and people
with poor nutrition or weakened immune systems.
Some of the symptoms

High Fever
Non Productive Cough
Runny nose
Sore throat
Inflamed eyes (Pink eye)
Red skin rash

Risk factors

Being unvaccinated. If you haven't received the vaccine for measles, you're
much more likely to develop the disease.
Traveling internationally. If you travel to developing countries, where measles
is more common, you're at higher risk of catching the disease.
Having a vitamin A deficiency. If you don't have enough vitamin A in your
diet, you're more likely to contract measles and to have more-severe
symptoms.

Treatments and drugs

Post-exposure vaccination. Nonimmunized people, including infants, may be

given the measles vaccination within 72 hours of exposure to the measles
virus to provide protection against the disease.
Immune serum globulin. People with weakened immune systems who are
exposed to the virus may receive an injection of proteins (antibodies) called
immune serum globulin.

Medications

Fever reducers
Antibiotics
Vitamin A

Prevention

Isolation of infected
Vaccinate those at risk of getting measles as soon as possible
