![Measles is caused by the measles virus, a member of the Paramyxoviridae family. It spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. 🚨 Key Symptoms in Children Symptoms Measles in Children: Treatment and Management Measles is a highly contagious viral illness caused by the measles virus. While many children recover fully, it can lead to serious complications, especially in young children and those who are malnourished or immunocompromised. --- 🔍 Overview of Measles Symptoms in Children High fever (often > 40°C or 104°F) Cough Runny nose (coryza) Red, watery eyes (conjunctivitis) Koplik spots (small white spots Measles in Children – Treatment and Management Measles is a highly contagious viral infection caused by the measles virus (a paramyxovirus of the genus Morbillivirus). It primarily affects children and can lead to serious complications, especially in those who are malnourished or unvaccinated. --- ✅ Treatment of Measles in Children There is no specific antiviral treatment for measles. Management is mainly supportive to relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and support recovery. 1. Supportive Care Fever control: Paracetamol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen to reduce fever and pain Avoid aspirin (risk of Reye's syndrome) Hydration: Encourage fluids (water, oral rehydration salts [ORS]) to prevent dehydration, especially if the child has diarrhea or fever Nutrition: Ensure the child receives adequate nutrition; children with measles often lose appetite Continue breastfeeding in infants Rest: Allow the child plenty of rest --- 2. Vitamin A Supplementation WHO recommends Vitamin A for all children with measles, regardless of nutritional status: Children < 6 months: 50,000 IU orally for 2 days 6–11 months: 100,000 IU orally for 2 days 12 months and older: 200,000 IU orally for 2 days A third dose may be given 4–6 weeks later if there are eye signs of vitamin A deficiency or in severe cases. Vitamin A helps reduce: Severity of symptoms Risk of complications (e.g., pneumonia, blindness) Mortality --- 3. Management of Complications (if present) Complications can be life-threatening, particularly in malnourished or immunocompromised children: Complication Management Pneumonia Antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin) Otitis media Antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin) Diarrhea ORS, zinc supplementation Encephalitis Hospitalization, supportive neurological care Eye complications Vitamin A, eye care --- 4. Isolation and Infection Control Isolate the child to prevent the spread (measles is contagious 4 days before and after rash onset) Inform schools or daycare if exposure occurred --- 5. When to Refer or Hospitalize Refer to hospital if: High fever that doesn't improve Signs of respiratory distress (fast breathing, chest indrawing) Convulsions or altered consciousness (possible encephalitis) Severe dehydration or inability to drink Severe malnutrition Infants under 6 months or immunocompromised children --- If you need guidance on measles prevention, vaccination schedules, or a management protocol suitable for your region or practice, feel free to ask! inside the mouth) #MeaslesAwareness #ChildHealth #PediatricCare #HealthEducation #ViralInfection --- 👶 **Parenting & Children](/video/cover/7545806122448342294.webp)
