Get seen!: Measles starts w/ high fever, runny nose, very light sensitive bloodshot eyes, cough, w/ marked muscle pain & a rash which starts at the top of head & spreads downwards. Doctor will look for koplik spots which are tiny white spots inside mouth but there will almost always be clear exposure history. Blood test can confirm. Very unlikely to have. No need to be paranoid--you would recover fine!
