Rubella is a virus whose symptoms, particularly the red spots and fever, can be eased.
First of all, to fight the fever, breast milk should be given priority, as the Prophet ﷺ recommended to us. It will be essential to hydrate the baby as much as possible with juices in order to flush out toxins. Applesauce will also help flush out toxins thanks to the pectin it contains.
In addition, fennel seeds will be very good for their antiviral effect; and chamomile will also be beneficial.
Chamomile can be added to baby's warm bath, but also used in the form of herbal teas suited to babies, to which thyme can be added for its antiseptic properties, and finally in body creams.
Furthermore, to soothe the baby and prevent complications and itching, lavender creams or powder will be effective.
In addition, it is advisable to give the baby red berries, again with the aim of eliminating toxins from the body.
For the swollen glands, baby syrups are recommended. And importantly: it will be essential to boost the immune system of the baby affected by the rubella virus, and for this we recommend "immunoform" by Pediakid. (You can find it on our shop website www.leretouraunaturel.com)
What the science says: for infants, detox and drainage
Here is what published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context — these studies address material causes, while healing belongs to Allah.
For infants
In infants, the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri reduces colic-related crying according to a meta-analysis (Pediatrics, 2018) (Acta Paediatr, 2024); in children, honey soothes nighttime coughing (after one year of age) (Cochrane, 2018), fiber and hydration treat constipation (J Pediatr, 2022), and omega-3s are being studied for hyperactivity (Neuropsychopharmacology, 2018). Precaution: never give honey before one year of age, no essential oils before age 3 (age 6 for peppermint), doses adjusted to weight; any fever in an infant under 3 months is an emergency.
Detox and drainage
The body "detoxifies" itself through the liver, kidneys, intestines, skin, and lungs: supporting these organs involves fiber (Am J Clin Nutr, 2022), hydration, fasting (BMJ, 2025), liver-supporting plants such as milk thistle (World J Gastroenterol, 2017), and physical activity. Aggressive "cleanses" have no proven benefit and carry risks (Am J Gastroenterol, 2009). Precaution: no purges or enemas without medical advice, and no detox course during pregnancy; heavy metal "chelators" should only be used under prescription.
