Caring for measles symptoms at home focuses primarily on controlling fever—using Tylenol or ibuprofen as appropriate for the child’s age and health status, and in consultation with your pediatrician if you have any concerns.

It is also important to ensure adequate hydration and monitor for possible complications such as pneumonia, diarrhea (which may occur in about 10% of cases), or ear infections.

As long as the child remains well-hydrated, is eating and drinking, and does not develop additional complications like respiratory issues or ear pain, home observation is generally sufficient.

The measles rash, while appearing concerning, typically does not cause discomfort or itching. Unlike chickenpox, it is generally well-tolerated.
