Meningitis is serious business. There is no guarantee that, even if the kid got timely treatment, that he would have survived. There are many overlapping symptoms with less serious afflictions. If you catch a boneheaded ER doc at the end of a shift and they don't want to spend an additional 20 minutes doing an LP, it may not have been caught anyways. But going to the ER still would give you better odds of catching it than just feeding ecchinacea through an eyedropper.
Well I'm assuming a normal parent would go back if the symptoms get worse.... One doctors opinion should never be taken as gospel but NO homeopaths opinion should ever even be acknowledged.
