HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can really appreciate your concern, you became too much conscious and you might came under the impression that you are going to get measles in fact that is not true, because after the exposure this takes 8 to 12 days for clinical manifestation, if you have some kind of symptoms then this could be due something else, allergic condition is very likely, keep taking antihistamine and no need to worry about that, every thing will be alright, hope this information helps, have nice day.
