Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Is it serious if a child gets meningitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, the symptoms of meningitis range from mild to severe. Typical symptoms include dizziness, headache, nausea, and vomiting, which are projectile in nature, along with a positive neck resistance. Diagnosis is primarily confirmed through a lumbar puncture and cerebrospinal fluid examination. The severity of meningitis is mainly determined by the child's mental state. If the child's mental state is poor and high fever persists repeatedly without subsiding, this type of meningitis is considered severe.
