How is neonatal meningitis caused

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. How does neonatal meningitis occur?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, neonatal meningitis is primarily caused by severe infections that lead to bacterial or viral infections of the meninges or brain tissue. Timely treatment is necessary to prevent the possibility of severe complications, or even life-threatening consequences. When the baby develops fever again, physical cooling methods should be used more frequently, and fever-reducing medications should be avoided as much as possible, since the baby is young and their liver and kidney functions are not yet fully developed.
