Measles (Rubeola) Antibody IgG Tips

Hello friends!

I am Dr. Rajiv P. Bhanej. I have done my post graduation, that is MD in homeopathy from Mumbai. I am practicing homeopathy since past 20 years in the Western suburbs of Mumbai that is Malad and Borivali and Charni Road. I am being expertise in dealing with pediatric cases through homeopathy. Generally, homeopathy medicines work right from birth to the last decade of the patients' life. As all of you are aware that in newborn especially children are more susceptible in developing upper respiratory tract infection and lower respiratory tract infection and homeopathy medication play a very vital role in dealing with these types of infections. In allopathy, antibiotics are the only answer to these kinds of infection.

Antibiotics are purely chemical-based medicines which when given repeatedly may hamper the physical and the mental growth of the child and thereby suppressing the diseases. In homeopathy, we take the detailed case of the child. We take into account the physical condition, the mental condition and emotional condition of the patient into the account. We take a deeper case history to the extent of the condition of the mother during the pregnancy. Also the mental state of the mother during the pregnancy. Also, the physical state and the emotional state which is very important in homeopathy history. All the children are reviewed to such a deeper extent. Homeopathic medication as such is the purest form of medication where only medicinal energy is been derived from a medicinal substance that is the plant, animal and minerals. Thereby the cure opted by homeopathic medication is gentle, rapid and long-lasting and without any chemical reaction.

Overall we see pregnant females who regularly take homeopathic medication are bound to deliver a healthy baby which helps in good mental and physical development of the child. Friends homeopathic medication are found to be successful in treating others childhood conditions such as growth disorders, nutritive disorders, and other mental disorders in children such as Dyslexia, ADHD and low self-esteem. Over the past few years of experience, we have seen a tremendous rise in autoimmune disorders due to change in lifestyle. Autoimmune disorders such as cancer. thyroid, infertility and sexual disorders are also being managed with homeopathy successfully. For more information, you can connect us through Lybrate.com

Measles or rubeola as it is also known is one of the leading causes of children s death around the world. This viral infection is communicable through the air and spreads through contact with infected saliva and mucus. Thus sharing cutlery or glassware with an infected person can increase a person s risk of suffering from this disease. Thankfully measles can be prevented through vaccination known as MMR. This vaccination is given to infants and also protects them against mumps, rubella and chickenpox. The first dose of MMR vaccination is given when the child is about 1 year old and a booster dose is repeated when the child is 4-6 years old.

One of the most characteristic symptoms of measles is a reddish rash that begins inside the mouth and later erupts all over the body. This is usually preceded by a high fever, cold, cough, sore throat and swelling of the lymph nodes. Fatigue, diarrhoea and redness of the eyes are other symptoms of this disease. Measles symptoms are not apparent the moment a person is exposed to the virus. It can take 7 to 18 days for symptoms to become visible after catching the infection, this is known as the incubation period. Measles affects adults is a more severe way than children.

Children and adults with a weak immune system are highly susceptible to complications associated with measles. In some cases, it can lead to life threatening conditions, such as pneumonia and encephalitis or inflammation of the brain. Other complications associated with measles include ear infections, bronchitis, blindness and a sharp fall in platelet count. A pregnant woman suffering from measles also has a high risk of miscarrying the baby or preterm labour.

There is no definitive form of treating measles and doctors typically address the symptoms while prescribing medication. In most cases, the symptoms and the virus should disappear in two to three weeks. Some of the common forms of medicine prescribed to deal with measles are:

Medication to relieve fever
Antibiotics to prevent or treat accompanying bacterial infections
Vitamin A supplements to reduce the severity of measles symptoms
Pain relievers to deal with muscle pains
In addition, the patient needs plenty of rest and fluids to strengthen the immune system. The use of a humidifier can also help treat a sore throat and cough. Bright lights can aggravate headaches and irritation and hence should be avoided. Hence, avoid watching television and activities like reading.

Chickenpox or varicella is a type of viral infection that causes itchy rashes accompanied by tiny fluid-filled blisters. It is highly communicable to those who have not experienced this disease earlier or have not been immunized against it through vaccination.

The vaccine against chickenpox is a shot protecting anyone, who has already contracted the disease. It is known as the varicella vaccine since chicken pox is triggered by the virus called varicella-zoster. The vaccine is prepared from a living but a weakened virus.

Why would you require a chicken pox virus?

The risk behind the condition aggravating into something life threatening is high among adults, infants and people possessing a weak immunity system as they are prone to developing serious complications as well. There is no way you can predict who would be the next prey.
The illness is extremely contagious and can get transmitted either through air while coughing or sneezing or by direct contact especially with the fluid present in the chicken pox blisters. For this reason, you need to stay segregated until and unless all your blisters have dried up or crusted over. The illness may induce itchy rashes all over your body along with fussiness, cough and headaches.
The vaccine is recommended for all adults and adolescents who have not been infected by chicken pox ever earlier. A vaccine called MMRV offers a combined protection against varicella, rubella, mumps and measles.
The vaccine has to be administered in two shots. However the medicines are not devoid of mild side effects,for instance, swelling in the region where you have been injected alongside mild rashes.
Who should not opt for the vaccine?

Pregnant women, since the effect of the vaccine on your fetus is yet to be unraveled
People who are allergic to neomycin and gelatin ( a gelatin-free varicella vaccine is actually available)
People suffering from diseases caused due to a weak immunity system or taking high dosage of steroids
Cancer patients who have to be treated with chemotherapy, drugs and X-rays
People who have had a blood transfusion in about five months before receiving the shot.
