10 Symptoms of Measles

Sore Throat

One of the more painful symptoms of measles is the sore throat that accompanies the infection. The throat becomes red and very sensitive. Over the course of a few days, it may become difficult or painful to swallow. When this happens it’s often a sign that it’s time to go and see a doctor. These symptoms are similar to those felt from a strep infection, but one of the notable differences is the appearance of Koplik’s Spots.
