Hi
Wondering if there are any GP's out there that can tell me this ?
My eldest child is 15 and I still have his baby books and they say Measles is a mild disease and just to keep their temperature down etc, they liken it to chickenpox. I remember not being worried about it at all when he and his 11 year old brother were small.
Fast forward 14 years and we have a 1 year old who is at "huge risk from this killer disease" according our GP, but I can't understand how it can have changed so much.
Can anyone tell me, is Measles worse now than it was 15 years ago and if so why ?
Thanks
