Signs of meningitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam!
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I understand your concern.The symptoms you mentioned sounds like meningitis.This generally goes on for a long time until the patient is treated with intravenous antibiotics for a long time with proper observation in hospitals.
This spreads infection to lot of places adjacent to brain including spinal cord,eye balls.I would suggest you to see a physician as soon as possible and get her admitted in hospital for proper care.
Hope this helps.Please feel free to ask more.
