How Can Fever Along With Stiff Neck And Headache Be Treated?
My daughter has a very stiff neck, a fever of 102 and woke up with small red bumps on different parts of her body. We went to urgent care and they ran blood tests and are waiting for the results today. In the meantime they told us if her headache or back started to get worse to take her to the ER. She has taken a muscle relaxer and is still in a lot of pain, should I take her in?
Hi thanks for posting on hcm. I would recommend to take her to er immediately as her symptoms are suggestive of meningitis with neck stiffnesshigh fever and the rash. Hope this helped you. Regards
