Measles is a disease, which makes a child quite ill. Other than antibiotics and ensuring enough fluids try and encourage a normal diet. Often children when they are ill do not eat large amounts so small frequent feeds should be given. There is no special diet for measles. Many viral rashes mimic measles so please make sure that diagnosis of measles is correct.
