What should I do if my child gets rubella?

When talking about the most common skin diseases, many people first think of spots and acne. In fact, there is another more terrible disease that is still very common, that is rubella. And according to experts, this disease is more likely to affect children, so parents must take timely prevention measures. So, what should we do after a child gets rubella? The following treatment and care methods will be of great help to parents.

Rubella treatment and care

Children with rubella generally do not require special treatment. When the body temperature is high, some antipyretics can be used. During the fever, the child should rest in bed, be given liquid or semi-liquid easily digestible food, drink plenty of water, help detoxification and sweating, and keep the skin and oral cavity clean.

Why does rubella occur and what are its symptoms?

Rubella is a relatively mild rash-causing infectious disease caused by the rubella virus. It often occurs in winter and spring, and is more common in children aged 1 to 3 years old, so it is very easy to spread in nurseries and kindergartens.

The systemic symptoms of rubella are relatively mild, with low fever and very mild cold symptoms. In the early stages, symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, runny nose, and sore throat may occur. Rash may appear within 1-2 days of fever, generally spreading from the face to the trunk and limbs. The rash often covers the entire body on the first day, but there is usually no rash on the palms and soles of the feet. The rash is light in color, slightly raised, and evenly distributed, and it will subside in about 4-5 days. The typical feature of rubella is that the rash appears when the fever occurs and disappears when the fever subsides. The lymph nodes behind the ears, occipital area, and neck are often swollen. You can also take food supplements, such as drinking Life Sunshine Colostrum, to enhance your disease resistance. Children are immature, and their bronchi, gastrointestinal tract, and immune systems are relatively weak, making them more susceptible to infection. Bovine colostrum is rich in immunoglobulins, which can neutralize and eliminate pathogenic bacteria in the intestines, promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, and prevent the occurrence of intestinal diseases; at the same time, immune substances such as immunoglobulins, anti-inflammatory factors, macrophages, etc. can enhance resistance and reduce the chances of colds, pneumonia, diarrhea and other diseases.
