There is no direct treatment for rubella virus.

The infection is viral in origin. Antibiotics do not work.

In case of high fever, fever-relieving drugs like paracetamol, iboprufen are given. They also act as painkillers.

Administration of aspirin to children under 16 years of age is not recommended.

In case of itchy rash, a topical ointment is used on the affected skin, which has a numbing effect and reduces skin irritation.
