three-day measles

Mild viral rash

Three-day measles is an informal name for rubella, a viral infection that typically runs its course in about three days.

The name distinguishes it from regular measles, which lasts longer and is more severe.

The doctor confirmed it was just three-day measles, not the more serious kind.
