Though measles is one of the most highly contagious viruses, proper vaccinations can help to eradicate this disease. The best safety measure is to have children inoculated as directed: 12-15 months and again around the age of 5-6. Additional measures for measles prevention include proper nutrition to maintain a healthy immune system. The virus must run its course, so treatment of symptoms includes: medications to reduce fever, cough, and liquids to aid in hydration. Antibiotics are only given in the case of secondary bacterial infections. Anyone who has already had the measles will have an immunity that prevents reinfection. thatjennagirl14 https://padlet.com/thatjennagirl14/f2jioppwwxyo/wish/254013755 2018-04-21 01:43:25 UTC https://padlet.com/thatjennagirl14/f2jioppwwxyo/wish/254013755
