What Are The Symptoms Of Measles?

I just want to check that i don t have measles before i go to uni today. I have this rash started 3 days ago but its not really a rash its not itchy or raised just red dots. I have recently been to toowoomba where there is an outbreak of the measles at the moment. Started wednesday morning I woke up with it around my legs and lower stomach and today its progressed up my stomach to my armpits lightly.

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that measles require visual examination to get diagnose, if you can provide image to me , I can help you. You can get tested for measles by ELISA test, if it gives you positive test than you have to take antibiotics for prevention of secondary infection and paracetamol for prevention of fever. Measels is self limiting and will be clear by it self.
I will be happy to answer your further concern
