Cases of measles are on the rise.
So it’s important to be aware of the signs and symptoms:
· cold-like symptoms
· sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light
· a high temperature
· small greyish-white spots in the mouth
· a rash made up of small red-brown, flat or slightly raised spots. This may be harder to see on brown or black skin.
