Patient's question:
My mom is usually fine and hasn't shown any abnormal signs, but during her recent health check-up, it was discovered that she has meningitis. I find this quite strange—why would she develop meningitis when she's generally healthy? What are the symptoms of meningitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, meningitis generally includes symptoms such as fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, general malaise, and upper respiratory infection symptoms. Meningitis can be bacterial, viral, or tuberculous. It is necessary to go to the hospital's neurology department for a follow-up visit, have a lumbar puncture, and check the cerebrospinal fluid. Based on the examination results, treatment should be administered. Rest regularly, prevent transmission, avoid emotional excitement and fatigue, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and greasy foods. When you have time, go to a specialized hospital for a follow-up visit. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
