My 4 year old nephew has measles 9 weeks ago. he is now presenting with same symptoms but much worse. recurrence is highly unlikely. what could it be?

Must return to: child's doctor today or tomorrow. Could be a secondary bacterial infection following the Measles virus. This requires a history,physical exam, blood work , and possibly other studies. After diagnosis is made,antibiotics may be required. Push fluids and control fever.
