 Many
viruses will cause a persistent headache,
but parents should be vigilant for
the signs and symptoms of Meningitis
as failure to diagnose and treat early
can have serious consequences. The
signs that a child's headache may
be due to meningitis that you should
look out for are:
Cold skin with a
grey appearance. High levels of tiredness/drowsiness.
The child cannot curl up and touch
their chin to their knees. The most
important warning sign to be aware
of is the presence of a rash that
resembles a love-bite with blood under
the child's skin. This rash does not
blanch when pressed with a clear object
such as a glass. |
