How did you cure measles in the 1700s?

There was no cure for measles in the 1700s, and no cure now in the 21st century, only prevention. Prevention is by getting a vaccination. Measles is very dangerous. A person can die from the measles. Early symptoms are similar to the flu: fever, runny nose, cough, etc. Next red spots appear on the face, and then more on the torso, arms and legs. Bright light will hurt the victim's eyes. Antibiotics can help to keep other sicknesses at bay during measles, but cannot cure measles.


How many people did the flu kill in medieval times?
