The given symptoms above suggests that the 10-month old child is suffering from measles. Measles is a very contagious and dangerous disease, it is a viral infection in the respiratory system of our body. Infection of Measles can be caused by using or borrowing items from an infected person. Measles can be treated by supplements (vitamin a), take plenty of time for rest, intake a huge amount of fluids, and intake of some medication for some symptom-related illness such as cough and fever.
