Based on the symptoms described, the child may have a disease called “Measles” or “Rubeola”. Measles is a highly contagious viral infection.
(i) Measles, also known as Rubeola, is an infectious disease caused by the measles virus. It typically starts with symptoms such as high fever, macular rash (red or reddish-brown spots), and lesions in the mouth. The itching reported by the child is also commonly associated with measles.
(ii) A communicable disease is an illness that can be transmitted from one person to another through direct contact, respiratory droplets, or other modes of transmission. Measles is indeed an example of a communicable disease as it spreads easily from person to person through respiratory droplets when an infected individual coughs or sneezes. It can also spread by touching contaminated surfaces.
It’s important to note that only a medical professional can provide an accurate diagnosis. If you suspect measles or any other illness, please consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.
