10 Rubella Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Runny Nose & Watery Eyes
Most adults who contract rubella experience all cold-like symptoms of a runny nose, watery eyes, and coughing. The fever and the cold-like symptoms usually appear before the rash and continue three to five days after the rash appears.
These cold-like symptoms often trigger sneezing and coughing which propels the virus into the air, which is its main means of transmission. Because adults will experience the symptoms of rubella worse than children, they need to manage the cold-like symptoms well. Once the sinus drainage becomes blocked and infected, it can cause ear complications. Patients can manage the symptoms like that of a regular cold.
