Measles often begins with a high fever, which can reach temperatures of 103°F (39.4°C) or higher.
A persistent cough is a common symptom of measles and may worsen as the illness progresses.
Measles can cause nasal congestion and a runny nose, similar to symptoms of the common cold.
Also known as "pink eye," measles can cause inflammation and redness of the eyes, along with sensitivity to light.
One of the symptoms of measles is a red, blotchy rash that typically starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body.
