Is it Measels?!


Question: Measels? My daughter has a fever, cough, sneezing, runny nose, vomiting, and this afternoon she broke out with
red spots on her arms, face and a few on her legs. We have a doctors appointment in a hour...I just wanted to know what I might be dealing with. She had all her vaccinations as a baby.

If she is vaccinated, it is probably not measles.
The vaccination for that is pretty reliable.(and with measles there are white spots in their mouth, their eyes are usually VERY red, and the runny nose is like a faucet) It can just be a rash that is brought on by illness- just the body reacting to the virus.
It could be hives, too-
There is scarlet fever that has fever, etc... but also a sore throat.
It is basically strep with a rash-
The doctor will ease your mind (as to it not being measles)and hopefully this will pass soon!
Good luck!
