Treatment

Meningitis and septicaemia can develop very quickly so it is vital that treatment is provided without delay. Antibiotics are used to treat these diseases and are effective in most cases if started in time.

However, a small number of bacteria are resistant to some antibiotics so recovery time may take longer.

Prevention

Pneumococcal disease can be prevented by a series of vaccination for your child. Vaccination can help prevent the disease as well as reduce the spread of the bacteria to other children. Vaccination may also reduce antibiotic resistance.
