Measles is a viral infection and there is no known cure for this illness. Treatment consists solely of supportive measures and hopefully the infection is self-limiting. Measles actually can be a very dangerous illness and can have serious consequences such as pneumonia, encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), and can be potentially fatal. The infection is highly contagious and is a preventable illness-there is a widely available and strongly encouraged vaccine (please note-the rumors of the vaccine having a link to autism are completely untrue and have been discredited by many scientific studies). The best bet is to prevent Measles infection in the first place rather than focusing on how to get rid of Measles.
