A child with measles should be
placed in a room alone and not per-
mitted to come in contact with other
children in the family. The room
should be warm. as the meet danger-
ous complicaatlon is secondary
pneumonia.

Chilling is especially harmful in

measles. and protection from cold
drafts is desirable. The room should
be well ventilated but drafts warded
on by properly placed screens.
‘ A child with measles is likely to
complain of inflamed eyes. How-
ever. the room should not be kept
dark unless the child is too young to
wear colored spectocles. Sunlight is
an essential for the welfare of pa-
tients with measles. as well as for
persons who are suflering from any
other disease.

If the eyelids tend to stick. they
may be bathed with boric acid solu-
tion or plain warm water.

Light Diet.

The diet of the child with measles
should be light. consisting chiefly of
nuids as long as there is any fever.
As soon as the temperature falls to
normal. the child should receive
plenty of nutritious food. particular-
ly fresh vegetables and good milk.
The bowels are to be kept open by
properly prescribed diet or such
remedies as the physician may think
desirable.

The patient is likely to sleep much
better and be less restless if he is
given a warm sponge bath just be-
fore going to sleep. A warm sponge
bath will cool the patient just as
much as a cold one, and it will
have the added advantage of avoid-

tng the'posslhllity of chilling. -.

Following the sponge bath, the
body may be dusted with some light
talcum powder which will prevent
irritation of the akin resulting from
the eruption. There is no reason in
warm weather for covering the pa-
tient with heavy blankets or for us-
ing flannel sleeping garmenta. A
good cotton nightshirt is more desir-
able than sllggool or flannel.

The contagious material from ‘the
patient with measles is found chiellv
in the excretions from the nose and
throat. Therefore. arrangements
should be made to boil ’all of the
sheets. coverlsts and underelothing
worn by the patient during his ill-
ness, and if posslble. to aim thm
clothes more thoroughly after wash-
ing. Certainly. every posslble mew
ure sh old be taken to prevent chil-
dren from coming in contact with
the excretions.

One of the most severe complica-
tions of measles. aside from the irri-
tation of the lungs which may result
in infection with pneumonia or
tuberculosis. is the possibility of an
infected ear.

Naturally, a patient recently re-
covered from measles should not be
allowed to come into intimate con-
tact with any person suffering from
a disease of the lungs.

The first sign of an infected ear.
aside from pain, is recurrence of
high fever. Sometimes the fever art
pears without the pain. The physi-
cian will examine the eardrum and
determine whether or not it should
be opened to permit the escape of
the matter resulting from infection.
