Are antibiotics given for me to are antibiotics given for measles and how do i know if my child has it?

No: Antibiotics are not the treatment for measles. Symptoms include fever, cough, runny eyes, sore throat, and tiny " Koplik Spots" which are little bluish spots inside the cheek and throat. Read more here http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/measles/basics/symptoms/con-20019675

Measles: Measles is a virus and doesn't respond to antibiotics. There are 2 types of measles; German measles which don't make you sick but are dangerous to the unborn child in the 1st trimester, red measles or rubeola can make a child or adult very sick. If you have no immunity or no vaccination it is worse. There is high fever, eye infection and a red raised rash all over. I hope it is not measles.

Measles Rx: Antibiotics are not used to treat Measles, as this is a viral infection which will not respond to any current antibiotic. Diagnosis of measles is typically done by a physician by physical findings, vaccination status and bloodwork.

None: there is no antibiotic for measles-a viral infection. needs to see doctor for supportive care. If you are in doubt see your pediatrician as soon as possible. In the US possible but very unlikely

Check for immunity: Measles is a virus, so antibiotics are not prescribed to treat measles. If a bacterial infection, such as pneumonia or an ear infection, develops while you or your child has measles, then your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic. If your child is older than 15 months, he most likely has been vaccinated against measles. He can have a blood test to check for measles antibody titles.

Talk2YourDoctor: Measles are caused by a VIRUS so WILL NOT get better with antibiotics. Hopefully, if you do have the measles, you have had your child vaccinated and so their risk will be low. The symptoms mimic a "cold" with fever, cough, runny nose and sore throat for 2-3 days. Then they get red eyes, a rash inside the cheeks then the typical measles rash (at which time the fever escalates sharply).
