Nikki is urging Lincolnshireparents to be aware of thesymptoms after Noah did notdisplay the rash until it wasnearly too late. Noah wasrestless, stiff and turned a palecolour. Instinct meant Noah was treated just in time and madea full recovery, any later and this may have been a differentstory. Meningitis can start with ‘flu-like’ symptoms with a fever,headache, vomiting and muscle pain. Other symptoms caninclude fever with cold hands and feet, drowsiness, confusion,pale blotchy skin, stiff neck, dislike of bright lights and seizures.In babies, symptoms can include being floppy andunresponsive, dislike of being handled, rapid breathing, amoaning cry and a bulging fontanelle (soft spot on the top ofthe head).
