Measles is a viral infection. Antibiotics treat infections caused by bacteria. Bacteria and viruses are two very different types of germs, and antibiotics will do nothing to cure the measles.

If you are taking antibiotics and skipped a day will the antibiotics work?

I would suggest that your contact the physician who prescribed you the antibiotics. Antibiotics are prescribed for many conditions and they always must be finished unless otherwise directed by your doctor. People generally feel better within days and think they can stop their antibiotics. Infections can return if you do not finish the prescribed course. Bacteria can develop a tolerance to our antibiotics due to many people not finishing the job. Ask a doctor if taking a probiotic during or after a treatment is okay to get help with digestion during a treatment and restore beneficial bacteria needed in the body.

What is the history of measles?

Measles produces a red-brown spotty rash. Measles can lead to very serious complications that can sometimes be fatal. These include bacterial infection in the lungs (pneumonia) and the brain (encephalitis). It's estimated that around one in every 5,000 people with measles will die as a result of a serious complication.Early physicians in Asia and North Africa identified and diagnosed measles, which was similar to smallpox. Modern scientists would later suggest that measles evolved after the rise of early civilization in the Middle East and may have come from animals; the virus was highly similar to rinderpest, which infected cattle.In 340, Chinese alchemist Ko Hung described the difference between smallpox and measles; a Christian priest, Ahrun, did the same in Egypt about 300 years later. In 910, the Persian physician Rhazes published the most widely celebrated early diagnoses of the two diseases.1492: In a pattern that would be repeated across the world for centuries, Christopher Columbus and his fellow European explorers arrived in the Americas, bringing a raft of deadly diseases — including measles —with them.Native Americans had no natural immunity to many of these diseases. Measles became even more efficient killers in the New World. By some estimates, the Native American population fell by as much as 95% over the next 150 years due to disease.


Can a rash be a side effect of antibiotics?

Most antibiotics suggest that you stay out of the sun while you are taking the drug. The rash is kind of like sun poisoning--try taking Benedryl to reduce the itching. A washcloth soaked in cold low fat milk will help relieve the rash also.


Does eating spicy foods defeat the purpose of the antibiotics for the teeth?

I've not heard of that. Antibiotics can be inhibited by smoking or excessive use of alcohol. Stay away from both if you're trying to heal from oral surgery. As far as "spicy" foods, I would suggest that you stick to a rather "bland" diet, while you are healing. However, your dental practioner can advise you about this.


Can antibiotics make cats sleepy?

Amoxicillin is not known to cause sleepiness or lethargy as a common side-effect, but all cats respond to antibiotics differently. The most common side-effect for this drug is diarrhoea and perhaps vomiting. It could be that the infection itself is making the cat lethargic, but only a vet will be able to tell you. If you are worried about your cat, even if it is on antibiotics, call your vet.
