secondary bacterial infection.
7. Not exposing the child to sunlight or heat.

Rubella (German measles)
Rubella has nothing to do with measles, despite its common
name (“German measles”). It is a viral illness
that primarily affects
the skin and lymph nodes, and causes a mild rash in small
children. The main concern with German
measles is if it affects a
pregnant woman; rubella in a pregnant woman may cause severe
defects in the developing foetus. German measles is caused by
the rubella virus. It is transmitted via
airborne particles from the
sick person.
