Hi everyone,

I need some help understanding the symptoms of measles. I've heard that it's a very contagious virus that can have serious long-term effects, so I want to make sure I'm aware of the symptoms. Can anyone tell me what the five most common symptoms of measles are? Any advice or experiences that you can share would be greatly appreciated.

The five main symptoms of measles are fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a rash. The fever is usually high and may last for several days. A cough and runny nose are also common, both of which may last up to two weeks. The eyes may become red and inflamed, and in some cases the whites of the eyes may become bloodshot. The rash is the most recognizable symptom of measles and appears as a red or reddish-brown splotchy rash that typically starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body.
