The baby's body has weak resistance and is not fully developed, making it easy to get sick and uncomfortable. Some babies suddenly discover meningitis during examination, while some mothers have overlooked early abnormalities, resulting in missing the best treatment time. So what are the symptoms of meningitis in a one year old baby?
A one year old baby's meningitis condition is similar to a cold, with fever, body aches, and a lack of appetite. If the baby's condition becomes more and more severe, they may exhibit poor behavior. In the early stages, it is often misdiagnosed as a cold or flu, and the best treatment time will be missed. If detected and treated in a timely manner, the condition will not worsen. Therefore, if a baby shows symptoms of a cold, their behavior will be different from usual. The baby may refuse to breastfeed, and if the general cold treatment does not improve, they should be aware that they have encephalitis and take the baby to a regular hospital for examination by a specialist in a timely manner.
If meningitis occurs, it doesn't matter if it can be treated. If the baby's temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, alcohol can be used to cool down. If it exceeds 38.5 degrees, medication should be taken. If the baby still feels uncomfortable, they should go to the hospital for examination. If a child has a high fever that persists, it is important to take them to the hospital for a check-up. If meningitis is detected, timely treatment is necessary, and healthy eating habits should be maintained.
