The prognosis for an otherwise healthy, well-nourished child who contracts measles is usually quite good.
simple answer no
If the child has measels, and you were not vaccinated, then yes you can.
MMR is measles mumps and rubella. If you give a strain of measles to a child, it's immune system develops anti bodies that destroy the virus, the anti bodies will stay around for ever and the child will be immune to measles as the anti bodies will prevent the measles virus from spreading.
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.
It is possible but rare to get measles after being vaccinated as a child. The measles vaccine is highly effective, but no vaccine is 100% perfect. In some cases, the immunity provided by the vaccine may wane over time or the vaccine may not have conferred full immunity.
Measles is caused by paramyxo virus and although may have infected humans once to give rise to antigens as immunization can again infect humans.
Antibiotics can only work against bacterium, whereas measles are caused by a virus.
It seems as though the measles epidemic in this area is almost over.
