• Measles is a highly communicable and contagious disease.
• It is caused through droplet infection, i.e., through sneezing, coughing, or using infected articles.
• Spread of the Rubeola virus (the causative organism) occurs 4 days before and 2 days after the onset of the rash.
Management of measles
• The treatment for measles is supportive and symptomatic.
• The rash takes about 1 week to fade away. It may leave behind a brownish discoloration.
• You can manage the other symptoms such as fever, and coryza (runny nose), and cough effectively and speedily through homoeopathy. Allium Cepa, given repeatedly, several times a day, will treat measles speedily.
• It is important to boost immune mechanisms. Hence, give the patient loads of lime juice, orange juice, and fresh fruits.
Prevention of measles
• A spread to the other members of the family becomes necessary.
• Those individuals who have had a previous attack of measles are protected naturally.
• Ask the patient to sneeze, cough, and blow his nose, in to a handkerchief.
• Wash his clothes, fomites, handkerchiefs, and towels, separately in hot boiling water.
• Do not use his articles.
• After, attending to him, wash yourself thoroughly.
