      Thanks for the reply. Your content quality is amazing and the video thumbnails are very nice. But you are not getting the views and engagement that your video deserves because your videos are not reaching your target audience. There are lots of workspaces on your CZcams channel. That means you need to update your video optimization. Like SEO-friendly video title selection, writing an attractive SEO-related description, and researching high-rank targeted keywords according to your niche to rank your video.@@DrSophieGP

    I had Measles 15 years ago when I was 40. It was so serious I was admitted to Hospital where I stayed for 10 days. It really was touch and go. I never had the vaccine, so hit me hard. Took me about 4 month to fully recover from it.

    Thanks for this information. Can I ask two questions;
    Would measles always occur with a high fever.
    how long after the MMR, is the child immune?

    • @DrSophieGP
      @DrSophieGP  Před 4 měsíci

      It’s never an ‘always’ in medicine! Eg paracetamol could prevent a fever. It’s thought immunity starts to build 2 weeks after the first dose.

    Hi, great video..what type of rash can you get on the face? If the skin on the face (cheek to be specific) is itchy and hurting but no visible rash, just complaints that it feels sore, is that concerning? No other symptoms, no fever etc.

    • @DrSophieGP
      @DrSophieGP  Před 5 měsíci +1

      If you have a look at the links in my description, you can see examples of the rash. Usually a child would be unwell and the rash comes on a few days later, so less likely measles if the child is otherwise well!
