can my 5 mo get meningitis for being loved and kissed on by someone who has it? freaking out right…

I'd bring your baby in asap just to be checked. they can watch baby for a while to make sure symptoms aren't developing. a spinal tap will tell you for sure but they might just observe before that. meningitis is highly contagious and dangerous

thats what i thought im just not sure when he got it byt gound out today thats what it is and he was over about 4 days ago

@shay23, it depends on if its viral meningitis or bacterial...

@b3autifulm3ss, the person is waiting for test results to see if its contagious but im not sure ig i want to wait

does your baby have any symptoms? acting any different? i definitely would not wait to call his dr (if they have a 24 hour help line) or to ask someone at the hospital... meningitis is a very serious thing- bacterial isnt as contagious as the common cold or flu... viral is more contagious...symptoms develop within hours to a couple days... goodluck momma

@showersoverflowers, @b3autifulm3ss. good news hes fine:)

awesome!! I'm so glad to hear that!

thank you! me too
