DS has suddenly come up with a red raised rash starting around his chin and going down his chest.
It looks very blotchy just now but not itchy and the spots don't seen fluid filled. They are mostly together and don't look like individual spots.
2 nights ago he had a terrible nights sleep and was running a slight fever but no obvious symptoms. Yesterday he stared with a snotty nose and this afternoon the spots have appeared.
I've googled the rash and it looks exactly like the pictures of the start of measles.
However he seems fine and most of what I've read says he'd have a fever and would feel really rough.
He is 3.11 and had his first mmr jab but due to moving around and not finding a new doc yet we are a little late with his booster.
Is he likely to get measles if he's had the first mmr?
