I am a dermatologist in Patna. My 5-month son had meningitis. Visited the child specialist and doctor did ct scan of brain and found hypoxic encephalopathy with mild cerebral edema and examination of csf gave the result of level of protien as 125 mgm%.that time blood examination gave result as - hemoglobin 64 %,leukocytes 12500/c.m.m, cpp positive. The main medicine and injection course was given as meropenem 210 mg, vancomycin 80 mg in 20 ml ns, levitractem,gardenal etc. This injection was given him for 15 + 21 days (the gap between these two continuous dose was 1 month). Some of my friends suggested me to visit neurologist/neuro physician. Please suggest me what should I do? I think he gets a problem in drinking milk and might be some other pain which family doctor is not able to get exact.

Your child has inevitably suffered brain damage from asphyxia and desaturation. There is nothing great a neurologist can do and it can be a relief to see one neurologist any way.
