German measles starts on face and spread downward. You have a mild fever of about less than 102. Swollen lymph nodes swollen in your neck, headache. Headache and stiff neck are signs of it too. If you think you have Rubella (German measles) or any type of contagious disease you should contact your doctor. Advise them you may be contagious so they can tell you what to do so you won't infect others when you go in to see them.

Do you have a fever?  Have you been exposed to anyone with German Measles and are you UNvaccinated?  Have you been outside around anything like poison ivy or exposed to anything else?

Have you been exposed to other sick people recently?  Do you have a sore throat, swollen tonsils, spots in your throat, or ear pain?

Sorry for all the questions, but the more I know, the better I can help you.  Thanks.
