What Is Rubella?
10. Treatment
Treatment for rubella is usually not deemed necessary. This is because the immune system is usually strong enough to fight the disease alone, and the vast majority of patients will go on to make a full recovery. Patients may be prescribed medication that will help to relieve the severity of their symptoms, however.
Pregnant women do need to be careful, however, and infected people should be isolated from pregnant women where possible. If you are pregnant and you have contracted rubella, then make sure to speak with your doctor as soon as you can. Medication may be provided that can help keep the baby safe, but it is not completely effective.
