It\u2019s also called rubeola. Most people who get it are children.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It gives you a red, blotchy rash that starts on the face and behind the ears, spreading downwards to the rest of the body. You also get a fever, a miserable cough, a really runny nose, and red, watery eyes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complications can cause pneumonia, which can lead to death as well. Even if you completely recover from your measles, there are also long-term complications that result in developmental regression and death.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h5>\u00a0<\/h5><h5><b>What Can Help?<\/b><\/h5><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are different ideas about how to prevent or treat measles. Some people believe vitamins, like vitamin A, can help. And there\u2019s truth to that! Vitamin A can make symptoms less severe, especially in places where people don\u2019t get enough of it in their diets. That\u2019s why the World Health Organization suggests giving vitamin A to children with measles in certain countries.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone is making the best decision that they know with the limited information that they have. In the United States, though, most people get enough vitamin A. Only <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">0.3% of the population doesn\u2019t have enough vitamin A. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So while it may help in some cases, vitamin A alone doesn\u2019t stop the disease from spreading.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The MMR vaccine (which protects against measles, mumps, and rubella) is one of the best ways we know to prevent measles in the first place. Thanks to this vaccine, measles was almost gone from the U.S. by the year 2000. But now that fewer people are getting vaccinated, the number of cases is going up again.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all want to keep our families healthy. Learning the facts, asking questions, and talking with trusted health professionals can help us make the best choices for our kids and communities.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd84851 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"dd84851\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2bb249a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2bb249a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><b>Sources:<\/b><\/h5><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/measles\/data-research\/index.html\">https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/measles\/data-research\/index.html<\/a><\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/health\/conditions-and-diseases\/measles\">https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/health\/conditions-and-diseases\/measles<\/a><\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/02\/27\/health\/kennedy-measles-outbreaks-us\/index.html?cid=ios_app\">https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/02\/27\/health\/kennedy-measles-outbreaks-us\/index.html?cid=ios_app<\/a><\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/measles\/about\/history.html\">https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/measles\/about\/history.html<\/a>\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fever, runny nose, and red eyes\u2014these are some signs of measles.
