Description

Excerpt from Practical Medicine Monthly, Vol. 8: November, 1897 A child lies with its lower limbs flexed when it is suffering from colicky or other pains within the abdomen. A position on the side or back with the head bent forcibly backward is assumed by a child afflicted with meningitis. An infant that cries, is fretful and fre quently carries its hand to the side of the head or presses the ear against its-moth er's breast is most likely suffering from earache. Movement of the head from side to side or boring it into the pillow indicates headache and possibly menin gitis. Rubbing the nose is indicative of some irritation in the alimentary tract, from worms or unwholesome food. Violent spasmodic contractions of the limbs and muscles of the head and face, in other words a general convulsion, should always be regarded with concern. It may be a sign of acute indigestion or it may herald the advance of scarlet fever or some other serious disease.
