Measles is a contagious viral infection that spreads through the air when a person sneezes or coughs. Symptoms of measles include high fever, tiredness, barky cough, bloodshot eyes, runny nose, sore throat, white spots in the mouth, muscle pain, and sensitivity to light. It is caused by an extremely contagious morbillivirus, which can spread by sharing drinks, kissing someone, shaking hands, hugging someone, touching a surface containing the virus, and from pregnant people to their babies. Infants, toddlers, pregnant people, adults, healthcare workers, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk. Complications of measles are diarrhea, ear infections, pneumonia, encephalitis, and low birth weight. Blood tests, throat and nose secretions, and urine make a diagnosis. It can be managed by taking NSAIDs, taking plenty of rest, drinking lots of fluids, gargling with salt water, and avoiding harsh lights on the eyes.
