👉 Colistin is a drug that has been used to treat a type of infection called meningitis. It works by blocking a protein in the brain, which can help reduce inflammation and relieve pain associated with the infection. Colistin is often prescribed for children who are younger than 18 years old or those who have severe infections that do not respond well to other treatments. It is important to note that colistin should only be used by a healthcare professional and may interact with certain medications,
