How to Confirm a Child Has Meningitis

Patient's question:

A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they experience tremors. How can the child be diagnosed with meningitis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is still uncertain whether you have meningitis at the moment. You need to take fever-reducing medication for treatment. If necessary, you can go to the hospital to have an electroencephalogram checked to see if there is a possibility of meningitis. Your condition may be caused by a viral infection, and there is no specific treatment. The main treatment is systemic supportive therapy and symptomatic treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used for treatment. Chinese herbal medicine may have a certain effect in reducing some symptoms of viral diseases and shortening the course of the illness.
