What Is Rubella?
3. Fever
The majority of patients with rubella will have only mild symptoms and, in some cases, the symptoms will be barely noticeable at all. When symptoms do show, it will be around 2 to 3 weeks after the patient was initially infected. One of the most common symptoms of rubella is a fever, which will also be quite mild.
Many patients with the disease will also experience a headache. Aching joints and muscles are another fairly common symptom, and it is more likely to be found in young women. These symptoms are likely to last from between 1 to 5 days.
