Are there side from "Spinal Meningitis"?
A baby came down with it at the age of one month
Answers:
There are side effects with almost any illness or with the medications used to treat the illness. Meningitis is an infection of the tissue around the brain and spinal cord, it can be either a bacterial or viral infection. Viral meningitis is caused by a group of viruses known as enteroviruses. Herpes and mumps can also cause mumps. Symptoms include fever, headache, stiff neck, irritability, tiredness, or confusion. Your eyes may hurt because of bright light or you may vomit. You need the appripriate tests to receive the appropriate treatment. There is no special medication for viral meningitis. Rest and drink plenty of fluids. Bacterial Meningitis is a serious illness but is more serious in people under 2 or over 60. Anyone can get it but you are more likely to get meningitis if you have other medical problems such as diabetes. Most people get better with treatment but some die. Bacterial Meningitis is caused by a germ called a bacteria that spreads to your brain through your blood. You may get meningitis after an infection in another part of your body, such as the ear, nose or throat. Your may also contract meningitis after a head trauma. The bacteria passes from one person to another and is highly contagious. If will take only a few hours to start seeing symptoms: high fever, chills, sweathing, headache, neck pain, nausea, vomiting, red or purple skin rash, eye pain, confusion. trouble talking, facial paralysis, drooping eye lids, irritated or upset feelings, muscle pain, seizures. If you have acute bacterial meningitis you must receive treatment to prevent permanent damage. You will be given a spinal tap to find out more about the meningitis. You will be treated with a regime of antibiotics and carefully watched. With care and proper treatment you should be better within 2 weeks. In children under 2, meningitis is hard to diagnosis as they appear fussy. Children may also be immunized at 18 to 24 months. Your case of a baby at one month is scary; however, with the proper treatment and evident survival, this child should be fine. A good question and I hope a good answer.
Meningitis is an infection of the tissues (meninges) and sometimes the fluid (cerebral spinal fluid, or CSF) that surround the brain and spinal cord. Meningitis results in swelling of the brain tissue and in some cases the spinal tissue (spinal meningitis). When brain tissue swells, less blood and oxygen reach brain cells. If not treated, this can cause brain damage in some cases.
The infection occurs most often in infants, young adults between the ages of 15 and 24, older adults, and people who have a long-standing health condition, such as a weakened immune system.
Meningitis can range from mild to life-threatening. The severity usually depends on the organism causing the infection and a person's age and overall health.
Yes. The answer is death. If you think you or someone you know has it, go to the emergency room NOW.
Symptoms are blinding headache, extreme vomitting, intolerance to light, lethargy.
