A schoolgirl is “lucky to be alive” after doctors dismissed her symptoms as the common cold before she was diagnosed with meningitis.
Harri, then aged 12, suffered from a runny nose and headache for a week before her temperature soared, prompting mum Toni Tuson to take her to A&E.
She was sent home but later her condition worsened and was rushed back to hospital where she spent six days in an induced coma.
