Can you have meningitis without having a rash? I’ve gone through the symptom checker on 111 abd it says call an ambulance , but I feel just about well enough to write here so I don’t think it’s that bad?

I think the rash can be quite a late symptom. I'd seek help.

Yes you can. Have you called 111?

Yes you can. Bacterial meningitis is rare but if you’re in any doubt go to A&E.

Yes. Very much so.

The rash is one of the last symptoms.

My husband had meningitis. His only symptoms were severe headache and vomiting - no rash.

Ok thanks. Just terrified of getting holed up in hospital in current circs! Haven’t rung them, though they do tend to be more measured than the online service so I’ll try...
