What is measles?
Why should you take care:
Measles are infectious respiratory diseases. The virus is transmitted by a public spread when directly in contact with the infected water droplets or when an infected person breathes, coughs or sneezes.
Measles viruses can be infected in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves the area.
The disease (high fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes) begins a week or two weeks after someone is exposed. A few days later, Telltale Rash flows into flat and red spots on the face and spreads the neck and body into the rest of the body.
A person is contagious about four days before the rash appears four days. People with measles must be at home or school during that period.
Measles symptoms
The general symptoms of measles are as follows.
- High fever (up to 105 ° F)
- cough
- snot
- Red and watery eyes
- A small white spot that can appear in the mouth 2-3 days after the symptoms begin
- 3-5 days after other diseases. “Measles rash” usually starts on your face and spreads to the rest of your body.
How to prevent measles
The best way to prevent sick illness is to be vaccinated as a two -dose vaccine for measles. The two capacity of the MMR vaccine are very effective in preventing measles.
People who have been vaccinated sometimes can sometimes cause measles. But they usually experience light symptoms and are unlikely to spread disease to others.
