Measles FAQ for Families & Caregivers
About
This article provides guidance for parents if they think their child or family member has measles. It describes the CDC's advice to call a healthcare provider before visiting a clinic or emergency room. The provider will assess symptoms over the phone and decide if an in-person visit is needed. If so, instructions will be given on how to arrive safely, including wearing face masks for those over 2 years old and using side entrances to avoid spreading infection. For children under 2, covering their face with a light blanket may help reduce risk when around others.
