Samples of 29 people to Mumbai for examination
Ten patients are from rural areas and 19 patients are from municipal areas. Any type of fever can be measles, so the health department has appealed to the parents to pay special attention to the health of their children. A special sample testing center has been set up in the general hospital for measles testing.
The risk remains even after recovery from measles
The health department of Mumbai Municipal Corporation has warned that even after recovery from measles, the risk remains for a month. Even if a baby infected with measles recovers, it needs to be taken care of for the next month or so. It has been seen that babies who have recovered from measles are being readmitted to hospital for treatment. Therefore, Mumbai Municipal Corporation faces a big challenge to take care of patients who have recovered from measles.
After measles, the baby's immunity decreases. Even if the baby gets better with medication, his immunity does not recover immediately. It usually takes about a month. Therefore, patients who have recovered from measles are more likely to develop cold, fever, cough and other diseases. A warning has been given that once the baby recovers, its nutrition should not be neglected.
