A precursor to infantile meningitis

Symptoms of meningitis in infants include fever, altered mental status, abnormal feeding, vomiting, swelling of the fontanelle, convulsions, etc. Febrile meningitis usually causes an increase in body temperature, which may be low fever or high fever, as the body's immune system responds to infection. 2. Changes in mental status Infants may become irritable, prone to crying, listlessness, lethargy, or even coma, due to inflammation of the brain affecting normal nervous system functions.3. Abnormal feeding may occur due to reduced feeding, sucking weakness, or milk refusal, because discomfort affects the baby's appetite and eating ability. 4. Vomiting This may be caused by increased intracranial pressure, and vomiting is often jet, different from ordinary vomiting.5. fontanel bulge If the anterior fontanel has not yet closed, there may be fontanel fullness or bulge phenomenon, suggesting changes in intracranial pressure.6. convulsions Inflammatory stimulation of the brain may lead to convulsions in infants, manifested as limb rigidity, shaking, etc. When the baby appears above, parents should attach great importance to it, take the child to see a doctor in time, and conduct detailed examination and diagnosis so as to detect and treat meningitis as soon as possible and reduce its possible serious consequences.
