Question
My baby started to have a fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius on the sixth day after receiving the measles vaccine, and then they got rashes on their chest and back. Now, the rash has spread to their legs and arms. It’s been three days now. What can I do to make the rash disappear?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby may have been infected with the measles virus. This situation requires immediate treatment and isolation. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible, and you can also take antiviral oral liquids and other medications. Usually, after standardized treatment, the rash will gradually fade away. At the same time, attention should be paid to home isolation to prevent the spread of the virus.
