Clinically, meningitis is a relatively common disease in neurology. Most of its causes are due to bacterial or viral infections. The common symptoms are fever, head pain, vomiting, loss of appetite, poor mental health, fatigue, etc. If meningitis is not treated promptly, it can be very damaging to the body. Next, let’s find out what symptoms occur during meningitis? The symptoms of meningitis are often divided into two categories: tuberculous meningitis and septic meningitis, as follows: in the case of tuberculous meningitis, the early symptoms vary in degree, with younger patients experiencing mental status changes, such as irritability, crying, and poor spirit. In older patients, headache may appear, and if the disease is serious, there may be persistent headache or even aggravation of the phenomenon, frequent and increased vomiting, gradual drowsiness, and possible convulsions. In the case of septic meningitis, the main symptoms are fever, headache, vomiting, and irritability. In children, the onset of the disease is rapid, with a high fever of 39°C or higher, respiratory infection or diarrhea, and if the disease progresses further, the patient may complain of headache, mental dullness, fatigue, loss of appetite, frequent vomiting, and drowsiness, and if the patient’s condition becomes severe, he or she may suffer from seizures and coma. In children, irregular breathing or respiratory failure may occur, and some children may even have blood spots on their skin. Through the above introduction, we should have a certain knowledge and understanding of the symptoms of meningitis, which is a dangerous disease for the body, so we should find it early, treat it early and recover early; if there are symptoms related to the body, you should go to the emergency room immediately and receive treatment as soon as possible.
