NSW Health is advising people to be alert for signs and symptoms of measles across Sydney.

A person has recently been confirmed to have acquired measles in Sydney. This person has had no known contact with anyone else with measles and did not attend any known exposure locations.

With the source of the infection unknown, it is likely measles is currently circulating within the community, and other people may have been unknowingly exposed to measles.

In addition, NSW Health last week advised that another person with measles attended a number of locations across Sydney: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/measles/Pages/public-exposure-locations.aspx

South Western Sydney Local Health District Director of Public Health, Dr Mitchell Smith, said measles is a vaccine preventable disease that is spread through the air when someone who is infectious coughs or sneezes.

“Symptoms to watch out for include fever, sore eyes, runny nose and a cough, usually followed three or four days later by a red, blotchy rash that spreads from the head and face to the rest of the body,” Dr Smith said.

“It can take up to 18 days for symptoms to appear after an exposure.”

For more information on measles, visit: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/factsheets/Pages/Measles_Factsheet.aspx

If you, or a loved one, is experiencing measles symptoms, or have questions about measles, please call your GP or healthdirect on 1800 022 222.

👂 A message from Dr. Muneeb Syed - Struggling with blocked ears? Let us help! 👂

If you’re struggling with blocked ears, I’m here to help!

As a General Practitioner with expertise in Ear Microsuction, I offer a safe and effective way to remove stubborn ear wax, debris, and even small foreign bodies without the discomfort of syringing.

Microsuction is a gentle, dry procedure that can be especially helpful for:

✅ Impacted ear wax that won’t budge
✅ Fungal ear infections (Fungal Otitis Externa)
✅ Removing debris & dead tissue
✅ Patients who cannot have syringing due to infection or eardrum concerns

Unlike traditional syringing, microsuction does not use water, making the experience more comfortable and well-tolerated.

If you’re experiencing ear blockage or discomfort, book an appointment with me for an assessment to see if this procedure is right for you.

I look forward to helping you hear clearly again!

☎️ Call Vitalis Family Medical Practice on 02 8123 1133 to book your consultation.

Warm regards,
Dr. Muneeb Syed
