Babies are prone to contracting rubella, which is a disease caused by the rubella virus and can occur in young people, adults, and the elderly during epidemics. The onset sites are often in kindergartens, the military, and schools. So, what are the symptoms of measles and rubella in babies?
1. During the incubation period, the baby has no obvious symptoms, usually around two to three weeks.
2. During the prodromal period, the baby's symptoms may be relatively mild, or there may be no obvious symptoms. But there may be systemic discomfort symptoms such as recurrent low-grade fever, dizziness, decreased appetite, headache, and fatigue, as well as upper respiratory symptoms such as cough, runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, and runny nose. Some babies may have rose colored or hemorrhagic rashes on their throat and soft palate during examination.
3. During the rash period, it is the peak period of leprosy rash in babies. Babies may experience rash all over their body, starting from the face and neck, then expanding to the trunk and limbs, and spreading throughout their entire body within one day. The baby's rash appears as fine, light red spots, followed by a large rash on the back resembling scarlet fever. It usually lasts for 3 days and subsides, often accompanied by symptoms of low-grade fever, mild upper respiratory tract inflammation, and superficial lymph node enlargement throughout the body.
4. Non rash rubella: There are no symptoms of rubella, only fever, upper respiratory tract inflammation, lymph node swelling and pain, and only the presence of rubella virus is found during examination.
