There is no specific cure for measles, but supportive care, including rest, hydration, and fever management, can help alleviate symptoms and promote recovery.
Vitamin A supplementation is recommended for children with measles, as it can reduce the severity of symptoms and decrease the risk of complications such as blindness and death.
Antibiotics may be prescribed to treat bacterial complications such as pneumonia or ear infections that can arise as a result of measles.
In severe cases or for individuals at high risk of complications, hospitalization may be necessary to provide intensive care and monitoring.
Infected individuals should be isolated to prevent the spread of measles, and close contacts may require quarantine to prevent further transmission.
Close monitoring for potential complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis, or dehydration is essential, especially in young children and immunocompromised individuals.
While there is no cure for measles once contracted, vaccination remains the most effective way to prevent infection and its associated complications.
