Can meningitis and septicaemia be prevented

Condition analysis:
Vaccines give excellent protection, but cannot yet prevent all forms, and different vaccines for different forms are available in different countries of the word.

Instructions:
1. Cold Packs: The fever that accompanies meningitis can often be quite severe, and it can also make treatment and recovery more difficult. Fevers are a red flag from your body that it is fighting off an infection, but the raised temperature can be dangerous in and of itself. Therefore, regularly using ice packs to keep the fever down can give your immune system more of a fighting chance against the inflammation and infection.

2. Neutral Bath: When suffering from meningitis, the body experiences a wide temperature array, particularly when the blood is rushing around the body to the brain and spinal cord, attempting to treat the problem, but often exacerbating it with more inflammation. When you slide into a neutral temperature bath, your blood will respond accordingly and redistribute properly throughout your body, thereby easing the inflammation and discomfort in the brain and spinal cord, effectively treating some of the symptoms.
