Symptoms of neonatal meningitis

1. The most common meningitis in newborns is purulent meningitis, with fever, headache, vomiting, irritability and other symptoms as the main symptoms. Patients with acute onset may have a high fever of over 39°C, severe headache, poor spirits, fatigue, loss of appetite, and frequent vomiting. Children are generally conscious when the disease occurs, but as the disease progresses, they may become drowsy, confused, have incoherent speech, and be unable to correctly identify directions. Patients with severe illness may experience convulsions and coma within 24 hours of onset. If not treated promptly, children may also experience symptoms such as stiff neck, head tilted back, stiff back, and the entire body bent behind the back like a "bow".

Whether it is the symptoms of meningitis in adults or children, if it is not treated in time, sequelae such as cranial nerve paralysis, blindness, hearing impairment, limb paralysis, epilepsy and intellectual impairment may occur.

2. Another common type of meningitis in newborns is tuberculous meningitis. Its early symptoms include irritability, crying, mental dullness, and dislike of playing games. There may also be low fever, loss of appetite, vomiting, restless sleep, and weight loss. Older children may also experience headaches, increased vomiting, and gradual drowsiness. If the condition worsens, they may fall into a coma, have frequent convulsions, loose muscles in the limbs, paralysis, etc., and may die.

If the symptoms of neonatal meningitis are not treated in time, sequelae such as cranial nerve paralysis, blindness, hearing impairment, limb paralysis, epilepsy and intellectual impairment may occur.
