Hi, last year my little boy was sent to hospital and they suspected meningitis, they put antibiotics in a drip as thats what they would do even if they knew it was meningitus, thats what they told me and after a few days ( i think) they took fluid from his spine to know 100%< he thankfully didnt have it but it was the worst few days of my life< a nurse told me that you only ever hear the worst on the news etc but mostley she said they are fine>They never knew what he had>
i hope the little boy gets better soon and my heart goes out to his mum
