Hi, you should visit a dentist cz though general health is definitely associated with oral health, but measles cant cause permanent damage to your gums. There must be definitely underlying cause like either plaque or calculus or both. So scaling and polishing is needed. Definitely your oral health will improve. Best of luck.
