Patient's question:
Can newborn purulent meningitis be cured? My sister's baby has been in the hospital for more than a month since birth, and after 20 days, they will go for hyperbaric oxygen treatment. I heard from my older sister that this disease is very serious, and I don't dare to ask my sister for fear of making her upset. I want to know if this disease can be cured.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Neonatal purulent meningitis is a relatively serious infection, often occurring after sepsis. Based on the current blood biochemical test results, it is difficult to determine the condition. This situation may also be due to infection or contagion during the delivery process. It is best to follow the doctor's advice and actively choose antibiotics while being hospitalized for observation to avoid excessive anxiety. Generally, children recover more quickly. Therefore, it is recommended to observe closely. Usually, it is advised to enhance nutrition, drink more water, and monitor appetite.
