My son

Ok so this afternoon I started panicking school rang said he had been shivering and sleepy got him home and gave him calpol and stripped him off. Yes he as a temp but no other signs I’m worried he could get it back again

Yes, it must be scary. I know it’s difficult but remember it is normal for kids especially to get flu’s. He will get them many more times in his life and will be okay just like the other kids. Yes, there’s always a chance of meningitis but it is very low and the worrying won’t change what it is or isn’t. If you are highly concerned, the only thing you can do is take him to the doc and request testing. Going forward, do all that can be done to healthily boost immune system, get good balanced diet, stay hydrated, wash hands a lot (this is one of main passages for illness) and you will have done all you can do. Some people get it again or multiple times but ultimately meningitis is rare to get once and even more rare multiple times. I hope this passes and gives you more peace.
