Patient's question:
Had unprotected sex with my boyfriend and ended up getting pregnant. After deep consideration with my boyfriend, we decided to have an abortion. Although it's very unfair to the child, I've caught a cold today. I want to know if it's okay to have an abortion while having a cold?Doctor's answer:
Meningitis is divided into bacterial meningitis and viral meningitis. The symptoms of bacterial meningitis are more severe and require timely follow-up treatment. If accompanied by sepsis, it is likely bacterial meningitis. After the onset of bacterial meningitis, timely treatment is needed, and it takes about 2-3 weeks for the infection to be fully relieved, usually involving high doses of antibiotics. If accompanied by sepsis, the recovery time needs to be longer, depending on the specific condition. After treatment, regular follow-up tests of cerebrospinal fluid and blood cultures are required until the results are negative.
