If i have 8 out of 10 symptoms of menigitus should i go to the hospital and if so what kind of test do they do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe : If you have a fever, 101.4 F or higher, headache and other symptoms you should. They will need to perform a lumbar puncture to test the cerebral spinal fluid for signs of infection.
