  The baby developed 3 episodes of seizures in the form of uprolling of eyes on the first day of admission during phototherapy course for raised serum bilirubin. [hindawi.com]

  Its symptoms include severe headaches, a stiff neck, high fever, and even seizures. If the bacteria make their way into the bloodstream causing bacteremia, it can become one of the quickest ways for them to reach the brain and lead to meningitis. [webmd.com]

  Fevers are usually only treated for comfort anyways or in children prone to “febrile seizures.” Keep cool and hydrated. Per your doctor’s advice, use acetaminophen or ibuprofen. [enkiverywell.com]

  Common symptoms include fever, headache, irritability, seizures, and a bulging fontanelle (swelling in the brain). Although vaccines can prevent some types of meningitis, there are currently no vaccines for M. catarrhalis meningitis. [verywellhealth.com]
