Does this sound like measles?

I was exposed to measles last Monday, have never had it nor been vaccinated.

I had an MMR on Sat, after being informed that the child I'd been in contact with on Mon definitely had measles.

I have been feeling ropey since yesterday: headachey, feeble, a little feverish. Nothing dramatic, but not great either. I don't know if it is the after-effects of the MMR or the onset of measles.

If I have measles and these are the first symptoms, I should be keeping away from everyone. I have a seminar at work this evening, where I will be in a confined space with about 20 adults, some of whom may not be immunised.

WWYD?

I'd speak to my GP's surgery.

There are little white spots you get in your mouth when you have measles so I guess if you have them you've probably got it but I'd still ask a medical professional who knows about incubation periods, etc.
