Does Rash Under Eye And Sores In Mouth Indicate Bacterial Meningitis?

My 8 year old son was diagnosed with strep throat yesterday and now has a rash under his eye. His tongue and the roof of his mouth also have sores. 3 days prior to the diagnosis he had a headache and need all the lights off. He has not had any more headaches since that day. Is it possible that he may have bacterial meningitis?

Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion it is not a meningitis.

In meningitis patient become unconscious with fever headache which is intense in nature.

It is likely to be some viral infection. It is necessary that you can diagnose your child exactly to treat him properly.

Until you diagnose you can give him cetrizine and paracetamol under your local doctors guidance.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
