Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. What are the early symptoms of meningitis in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of meningitis are not typical. The child may experience fever, headache, and other symptoms again. Additionally, if meningitis leads to intracranial hypertension, vomiting and papilledema may occur. If you are concerned that your child may have meningitis, you can undergo a thorough examination with a cranial CT or MRI for screening. If these tests show abnormalities, a lumbar puncture to examine cerebrospinal fluid can be performed to confirm the diagnosis, followed by treatment.
