Meningitis

There are two types of meningitis - viral and bacterial. Viral meningitis usually passes within two weeks. Sore throat, headache, stiff neck, fever, vomiting, fatigue, and rash may be indicators of viral meningitis.   Bacterial meningitis requires a physician's care immediately as it develops quickly. Symptoms include: headache, stiff neck, high fever, irritability, chills, vomiting, nausea, light sensitivity, and delirium. Infants, especially, should be taken to a doctor immediately if any of the following symptoms are present: poor muscle tone, fever, difficulty feeding, irritability, vomiting, high-pitched crying, and bulging soft spot.
