Question
Can neonatal empyema meningitis be cured? My sister’s baby was hospitalized for over a month, and high-pressure oxygen therapy was administered 20 days after birth. I learned from my sister that this condition is very serious, and I worry about her, so I dared not ask her. I want to know if this disease can be cured.
Answer
Neonatal empyema meningitis is a serious infection, often secondary to sepsis. According to the current blood biochemistry test results, the severity of the condition cannot be determined clearly. This may be due to infection or transmission during the birthing process. It is recommended to follow the doctor’s advice, choose appropriate antibiotics, and accompany hospital observation. Children generally have a strong recovery ability, so it is recommended to monitor their diet and fluid intake, and pay attention to enhancing nutrition while avoiding excessive stress.
