With some measles outbreaks in the news right now I am wondering if anyone has any experience with treating it effectively? I would like to be prepared, just in case, as most of my children and grandchildren have not been vaccinated against it. My husband and I have been, but it was so long ago I have little hope that immunity would continue.
Measles used to just be a disease that was dealt with like all the rest of childhood diseases, but I wonder, since the US population has had so little experience and natural immunity to it, if it could be more serious than it used to be. (Native Americans died of measles out breaks when it was brought to them because their bodies had never had to cope with it before.)
From my reading, it appears that Measles depletes Vitamin A. This makes sense since eye issues are a complication of it.
My initial thoughts on preparedness would be:

They advised to give him daily 5-6 pieces of fig fresh or dry. They said that honey keeps the rash inside the body which dangers especially for the liver, but the fig helps to take it out side to the skin.

Ted mentioned curing Measles in one day via Aspirin. My 2yr old has a rash and diarrhea (but is otherwise fine - eating, drinking, playing, no fever) and we visited the Dr today, who diagnosed possible Measles (albeit a minor case). He is not immunised. I was just wondering why the internet says quite strongly that Aspirin is dangerous for children under 12 and if I wanted to try the remedy for my 2 yr old, how much should I give him? Thank you kindly.
