10 Rubella Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #4: Sore Throat
A sore throat is one of the cold-like symptoms of the rubella virus. Most of the time, sore throat is accompanied by other symptoms like runny or watery nose. For some, it is the only cold-like symptom that manifests. A sore throat is often mild and like other symptoms can go away on its own after three to five days.
Rubella in adults, however, is a prodromal illness and respiratory symptoms tend to be worse. It can also be present with other symptoms that have been mentioned. Throat secretions are one of the means of transmission, so hygiene and personal care are important.
