⚠️ Measles: More Serious Than You Think! Most children with measles may be sick for less than a week and start to feel better a few days after the rash appears, but recovery doesn’t always mean the danger is over.

😷 A cough can last for up to two weeks, and some children may develop complications like ear infections, pneumonia, diarrhoea, or vomiting.

🚨 In more severe cases, measles can lead to serious complications such as:

• Pneumonia
• Severe diarrhoea
• Ear infections
• Blindness
• Brain swelling

💔 Measles can also weaken your child’s immune system, making them more vulnerable to other infections long after they recover.

💛 Protect your child by staying informed and up to date with vaccinations.

Health Alert: Meningococcal meningitis.

Once again, there are two suspected cases of bacterial meningitis at a pre-school in Durbanville.

What to look out for (possible meningitis symptoms):
• Fever
• Vomiting
• Severe headache
• Neck stiffness
• Bulging fontanelle in a baby
• Non-blanching rash (rash that does not fade when pressed)
• Convulsions (seizures)
• Altered level of consciousness
• Lethargy

• What to do:
Ensure your children are fully vaccinated, and that they have had 2 doses of the Bexsero vaccine.
Routine vaccines help protect against:
• Haemophilus influenzae type B
• The most common strains of pneumococcal (Streptococcus pneumoniae) bacteria • Both can cause bacterial meningitis.
Bexsero covers the B strain of meningococcus, which is the most prevalent strain in the Western Cape.
Menectra helps protect against the other strains of meningococcus.

Follow these steps:
• Prevention through vaccination:
Get Bexsero done today.
• Early detection: Watch for the signs and symptoms listed above.
• Early treatment and isolation: A doctor will begin treatment and isolation as soon as needed.
• Contact tracing: Those who were exposed to a confirmed case will be identified and prophylactic antibiotics will be prescribed to them.

🌡️ FEVER IS A SYMPTOM, NOT A DISEASE

Seek medical advice if:
🌿 Baby younger than 3 months develops a fever.
🌿 Fever lasts more than a few days.
🌿 Child becomes lethargic.
🌿 Signs of dehydration develop.

Focus on the child, not just the thermometer.
