Here’s what you need to know about #measles, from the signs and symptoms to look for to what to do if you think you or your child has measles.
ALT Measles: know the symptoms Cold-like symptoms usually appear before a rash, including: High temperature, Runny/blocked nose, Sneezing, A cough, Red, sore, watery eyes
ALT The measles rash. A rash usually appears a few days after the cold-like symptoms. The spots are sometimes
raised and join together to form blotchy patches. They’re not usually itchy. The rash looks brown or red on white skin. It may be harder to see on brown and black skin.
ALT Spots in the mouth. Small white spots may appear inside the cheeks and on the back of the lips a few days later. These spots usually last a few days.
ALT Call ahead. If you think you or your child have measles, call your GP surgery or NHS 111 first, before turning up at a healthcare setting. This will help to stop the virus spreading.

⚠️Measles is highly infectious and can be passed on even before a rash appears.
Make sure your child is protected from becoming seriously unwell from measles by making sure they are up to date with their MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccinations.💉
