6. How Long Does Recovery Take?
The good news about the rubella virus is the duration. It's milder than measles and the symptoms don't last as long. About 25-50 percent of adults who get the infection don't experience any symptoms.
Younger children see relief in two to three days. Older kids may get a full upper respiratory infection, which can increase the duration of symptoms. Any lingering issues might be another illness, and a doctor should be consulted.
