How long does measles fever last?
My little son has measles right now, and he's having quite a high fever. I'm really worried, can anyone tell me how long this fever usually lasts in children? It's been 3 days already.

My younger cousin just recovered from measles last month. The high fever was really intense and lasted for a solid 4 to 5 days before the rash actually broke out properly. It finally came down after that, but those first few days were very scary.
The fever usually stays high for about 4 days. During this time, the body is very hot, so give them plenty of coconut water, fresh orange juice, and light moong dal khichdi. Avoid any heavy or oily foods which are hard to digest.
I remember my children had it years ago; that fever stayed high for a good 4 days. Along with the doctor's medicine, we used to apply neem leaves around the bed to soothe them. Just keep them hydrated with warm water and thin soups.
The fever generally lasts for about 4 to 5 days. Please ensure they are resting in a quiet, slightly dark room because light can hurt their eyes during measles. They will get better soon, take care.
The fever is the body's natural way of fighting the virus, and it typically runs its course in 4 to 5 days. Keep the patient completely rested and calm. Gentle sponging with room-temperature water helps ease the heat safely.

When my kid had measles fever, I didn't sleep for five days straight because the temperature just wouldn't budge. It finally broke on the fifth day, and I think I aged ten years in that one week. Keep the paracetamol handy!
Actually yaar, measles fever is no joke, it can go really high up to 103 or 104 degrees. It usually peaks for 3-4 days and then starts fading once the rash spreads. Just keep checking the temperature and don't panic.
