Treatment of measles in children

For the treatment of children’s measles, there is no effective antiviral drugs, mainly symptomatic supportive treatment. Generally speaking, for children with measles, they need to be isolated in a single room until 5 days after the emergence of the rash, and need to maintain indoor ventilation; they need to pay attention to the cleanliness of the mouth and eyes, and need to drink a lot of water and can be supplemented with vitamin A appropriately, which can reduce the morbidity and mortality rate. If the child has recurrent high fever, oral antipyretic drugs can be given; if cough and phlegm symptoms are more obvious, cough-relieving and phlegm-reducing drugs can be used, and nebulizing treatment can be given if necessary; if the child’s clinical symptoms are more serious, gammaglobulin can be used early to shorten the duration of the disease and reduce the occurrence of complications.
