The treatment of meningitis for a newborn is usually through the use of antibiotics such as ampicillin and gentamicin or cefotaxime.

The dosage for a newly born child that is no older than 8 days is 150 mg/kg per day divided every 8 hours.

In addition, there should be the administration of gentamicin 4 mg/kg daily or cefotaxime 100 to 150 mg/kg per day that is divided every 8 to 12 hours.
