There is no specific treatment for measles mainly because it is a viral infection and the management is usually of the symptoms.

Sometimes antibiotics are given to manage bacterial complications accompanying measles such as pneumonia.

It is best to get vaccinated against measles with the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rublla) which will prevent you from having measles in the future.

The measles is caused by a type of virus called Paramyxovirus. It is spread through the tiny droplets that may spray into the air when a person carrying the virus sneezes or coughs.

Measles is a 'communicable' disease - meaning that you have to be in physical contact with someone already infected in order to get the disease yourself.
