Symptom #5: Sneezing

While it is normal to sneeze, some types of sneezing could be a symptom of measles. Sneezing is an involuntary impulse through which the body expels a powerful burst of air from the lungs through the nose and mouth. Sneezing usually occurs as a result of irritation of the mucous membranes lining the upper respiratory tract. The irritation is usually caused by something foreign like an odor or dust. Ordinary sneezing comes and goes without other symptoms.

However, if you notice recurrent sneezing, especially when accompanied by other measles symptoms, it is best to visit a doctor for assessment and treatment.
