How do you cope up with your toddler having measles?

It's the 3rd night and it's really heart wrenching to see her twist and turn not knowing what to do with the discomfort and cannot go to sleep.

Thank you for the suggestion we gave her limited acamoli dosage (i assume this is benadryl equivalent). Also we consulted a homeopath doctor and he prescribed something for her in addition to acamoli. The fussiness is still there but since she's a bit recovering now we are hopeful that she'll get back to normal (being a happy toddler).

when my daughter had measles i am more careful with the back getting wet by perspiring a lot. because of pneumonia. also the eyes, cause it will make our kids blind too. i do put dropper for protection. like eye mo. its really itchy what i did is to wipe it with wet soft towel. i used cold water it will help the child feel comfortable or put some calamine lotion for itchiness.

Thank you for "careful with the back due to perspiration" I became more mindful by checking to make sure it's dry. She's starting to recover now I suppose 'cause the rashes from the head are disappearing.

Fortunately neither one of my children have had the measles. I can only imagine how terrible it must be not only for her, but for you having to see her so uncomfortable. You could try to give her and oatmeal bath. That is supposed to help with itching.
