Question
The 6-month-old baby cannot lift her head, can roll over, and has normal appetite; there are no significant abnormalities, but she sometimes shivers. How can meningitis be diagnosed in the child?
Answer
Hello, it is not yet certain if the child has meningitis. You may need to administer fever-reducing medication and, if necessary, go to the hospital for an EEG to determine the possibility of meningitis. Your situation may be caused by a viral infection, for which there is currently no specific treatment. The main approach is to provide general supportive therapy and symptomatic treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used, as Chinese herbs may have certain effects on alleviating symptoms of viral diseases and shortening the course of the disease.
