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. What are the sequelae of childhood meningitis?Doctor's answer:
After a child experiences a recurrence of meningitis, if timely and proper treatment is not administered, it is highly likely that meningitis sequelae may reappear. These sequelae may manifest as hydrocephalus, cerebral hemorrhage, limb paralysis, or even the possibility of epilepsy. In some cases, there may also be a recurrence of hearing loss. Therefore, if sequelae reappear, active treatment should be pursued to stabilize the prognosis. The child should undergo rehabilitation treatment to enable them to achieve normal living.
