Request for Information: Temporary Effects in the First Weeks After Recovery from Meningitis and Hospital Discharge in Infants

Greetings,

I hope this message finds you well. I would like to share a recent experience regarding my 7-month-old son and seek any information or insights you may have.

My 7-month-old son had a fever, and after giving him fever-reducing medication, his temperature decreased, but he began groaning as if he had a headache. I immediately called an ambulance, and he was taken to the hospital, where he experienced a seizure. The doctor immediately administered meningitis antibiotics. The next day, he was admitted to intensive care for a week, followed by a transfer to the general ward for 12 days.

He has since recovered, and we were discharged from the hospital. However, we’ve noticed that he yawns frequently, sleeps a lot, lacks attentiveness, and is often irritable. We are currently in the first week after being discharged, and we are very concerned.

If anyone has additional information about temporary aftereffects following a hospital stay, we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, and may you be protected from all harm.
