Measles

This infectious fever, also known as Morbilli, should be avoided if possible. Not only is the original attack liable to be severe but there may be undesirable complications and aftermaths. To this end 'contacts' should be given PULSATILLA 30, three doses during a 24 hour period, as a preventive measure.
During an attack of measles homoeopathic treatment will aid recovery, diminish distress, and also discourage complications. In the early stages ACONITUM, BELLADONNA or FERRUM PHOSPHORICUM may be given according to the indications (see section on Fever). Other remedies which may be called for (30 for two or three days at 6 to 8 hourly intervals, or 6 three or four times daily for a few days) are:
APIS high temperature, very hot and wanting covers off; eyes sore; possibly ears involved; child tearful and irritable.
BRYONIA very tiresome cough on account of chest involvement; high temperature, dull look with swollen face; complains of head¬ache; mouth dry with intense thirst for cold water; feels chilly, but wants air.
EUPHRASIA streaming nose and eyes, and latter sore with marked photophobia; moderate type of fever and does not feel very ill.
GELSEMIUM very high fever; delirium; extreme prostration; very dry tongue; possibly convulsions.
PHOSPHORUS chest symptoms marked; troublesome dry cough and feeling of tightness in chest; great thirst for cold water, which may be vomited when it warms in the stomach.
PULSATILLA very restless, very irritable; wants to be petted and constantly waited on; troublesome cough; desire for cool air.
