The effects of Meningitis

The effects of Meningitis

The effects of Meningitis in teenagers, children and babies:

• Vomiting
• Seizures
• Stiff neck
• Blotchy skin or a rash
• Rapid breathing
• Floppy limbs
• Increased sensitivity to light
• Severe cases a blood infection and brain damage can occur.

Physiotherapy treatment can help improve body alignment and facilitate the re-learning of normal movement patterns, as after meningitis your child could experience secondary complications such as:

• Muscle weakness
• Poor balance and co-ordination
• Poor body awareness (proprioception)

Physiotherapy can help improve these secondary complications.
