Question
My daughter was diagnosed with purulent meningitis on the sixth day of her life, fortunately, she has recovered and is now three months old. She seems to be doing well, she smiles and moves her limbs, but she cries a bit more than usual. I would like to ask the doctor whether a follow-up examination is needed in this situation?
Answer
Based on the information provided, if purulent meningitis has been appropriately treated and no neurological symptoms have appeared, the subsequent impact is usually minimal, and there is no need to worry excessively. The current situation may not be related to the sequelae of purulent meningitis, and other factors such as diet, clothing, diapers, and deficiencies in trace elements may need to be considered. It is recommended to further confirm and investigate the situation based on the circumstances. If you are concerned or have any doubts, consult a doctor and undergo relevant examinations.
