Aqeel was infected with the rubella virus or what is commonly known as german measles. It has been a week since the red spots first appeared. My husband and I mistakenly thought that the red spots were normal rashes due to the hot climate. It was when aqeel started to have mild fever and we had to bring him to a clinic then only we knew it was due to the rubella virus. The rash begins on the face and spreads downward.
Aqeel is recovering, Alhamdulillah and here are of a few photos taken during the 'spotty' period.
