Maintain bedrest and provide quit activities for the children. if there is sensitivity to light keep it pretty dark. a cool mist vaporizer can be used to relieve cough.

In most cases of children who have measles, rest and simple measures to reduce a fever are all that are needed for a full recovery. If there are no complications, symptoms will usually disappear within 7-10 days.

While antibiotics are of no use to treat the virus, they may be prescribed for any secondary bacterial infections that develop.

In severe cases of measles, particularly when there are more serious complications, hospital treatment may be required.
Measels lasts about 2 weeks. There is no specific treatment as it goes away on it's own. If a child gets a fever, they can be given home remedies for that.
There is no current cure for the measles virus. Supportive care is given to the patient while the body fights the virus. Means of supportive care include: fever and pain medications, intravenous (IV) fluids, and antibiotics.
