Measles is a rapidly contagious disease caused by a special pathogen that can be transmitted to each other. But don't worry too much, mothers. The vaccine for this disease has already been developed and the disease has been effectively controlled. Mothers will wonder why their babies get measles?
Although the condition of measles has been effectively controlled, the virus of measles still exists widely in nature, and humans are the biggest spreaders and carriers. The measles virus is highly contagious and can be transmitted through daily speech, sneezing, and everyday use. After contracting this disease, it becomes a source of infection on its own, and the virus has a latent period, making it difficult to detect. So without vaccination, babies are highly susceptible to infection once they come into contact with these sources of infection.
Because this disease is particularly contagious, mothers should also pay attention to these:
1. Measles has a certain mortality rate, and after contracting measles, there may be other complications such as pneumonia, acute encephalitis, and inflammation of the throat. Among them, inflammation of the lungs is the most terrifying, and many can cause death in children.
2. Ordinary antibiotics are ineffective against the measles virus. Mothers should not seek medical help when they find out that their babies are sick. Some doctors may prescribe antibiotics, but it is actually useless and will only make the babies more painful.
3. Generally, as long as babies drink plenty of water and follow the doctor's guidance, they will recover in about a week.
