How can you tell if a baby has the measles?
If your baby has measles, he'll start out with a fever, an extremely runny nose, a cough, and red, runny eyes. A few days later, he may develop characteristic spots in his mouth, particularly on the mucous membranes that line his cheeks. These spots, called Koplik's spots, appear as tiny white dots - like grains of salt or sand - on reddish bumps. ChaCha on!
