About Measles
Measles, also known as morbilli, rubeola or English Measles, is a respiratory system infection caused by a virus. Symptoms include rash, fever, runny nose, red eyes and coughing. Measles is spread through contact with an infected person's nose or mouth or through air transmission. It is highly contagious. Measles lasts about 20 days.
About Fever
A fever is defined as a temperature of 1 degree or more above the normal 98.6 F. They can occur due to many different reasons. Some reasons include illness like scarlet fever, swine flu, and even hay fever (if your sinuses become infected). Illness from mosquitoes such as Dengue Fever and Malaria can cause severe fevers.Fevers can be symptoms of many diseases and conditions and are the body's attempt to get rid of toxins in the body. When a fever 'breaks', or goes down, it is often a sign that the disease has been overcome. Fevers can be dangerous if extreme.
