Patient's question:
The baby is one year old this year. Last night, he had a high fever, reaching 40 degrees Celsius. Additionally, rashes appeared on his body again. I'm worried that the baby might have meningitis, so I'd like to ask the doctor what are the symptoms of meningitis in children? Is my baby experiencing this condition?Doctor's answer:
The clinical symptoms of children's meningitis include fever, headache, nausea, and convulsions. If not treated promptly, patients can develop brain damage within hours, leading to sequelae such as intellectual disability, collapse, and epilepsy. It is recommended to detect the condition early, seek timely treatment, actively cooperate with the doctor, and provide proper care training for the child to prevent colds and fever, thereby avoiding the worsening of the condition. Rest as much as possible on a daily basis. The above information can be used as a reference.
