10 Rubella Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Headache
Rubella often comes with a headache. The pain induced by a headache is reported differently per person. Most patients report it as a simple tension headache while others report a migraine. Tension headaches feel like your head is being constricted while migraines are more complex and sometimes localized to a certain region in the head. Most adults complain of a headache together with the fever and the rash.
In general though and like most rubella symptoms, the headaches are mild. Pain management includes the intake of fluids to keep hydrated and taking paracetamol or aspirin. For children though, medication should always come from a physician.
