Runny nose: A Common Symptom of Childhood Illness
When a child develops a runny nose, it is often considered a typical symptom of a common childhood illness. Consequently, doctors may initially find it challenging to diagnose it as a potential sign of measles. However, if parents have not vaccinated their child, a doctor may become more suspicious and concerned. In such cases, the doctor may suggest isolating the child from others for a few days to monitor if any rash develops, which could indicate a measles infection.
