Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
Your history suggests that your baby may be suffering from meningitis .
Examination of CSF confirms this.
The doctor is right in giving I V antibiotic as this is a very serious condition.
He needs hospital admission and constant supervision of the pediatrician .
Hope this reply is OK for you.
Please feel free to ask further queries if any.
