Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Measles infection reduces the immunity and makes the child more prone to infection.
usually it reactivates the latent tuberculous infection.
That is why he is getting recurrent fever.
Better consult pediatrician to find out the cause of fever after thorough investigation.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
