Measles for 8 month old
Hello Doctor!
My baby is 8 month old and he had got measles 2 weeks ago, he was admitted for the same as he couldn't eat properly.
Now since 3-4 days I am having fever every 6 hours and today developed red spots on face.
I am scared if it is measles for me and will my baby be affected again??
Is there a chance of him getting infected from me again after being cured and being normal now?
He hasn't taken his measles vaccination yet. Please advise what to do?
