What do you suggest if my child has had bacterial meningitis 3 times?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time for consultatn: If your kid had any form of bacterial meningitis more than once, I would send you to see a pediatric infectious disease specialist to find out why.If the kid received the recommended vaccines as an infant, this should never happen.
