I think my 8year old son has measles.., wat should i do?

Comfort/care/call: Supportive care measures are the basic treatment unless he develops a complication like pneumonia. Proper rest/meals/ fluids/ are the main supportive measures. I would isolate him from others and call your source of healthcare to discuss the issue.Many regional health authorities will want to confirm a case and provide guidance
