Patient's question:
My nephew is eight years old this year. For the past half month, my nephew has been saying that his head has been a bit painful, and he has been catching colds and having fever, which always doesn't go away. Recently, my nephew said his head pain has become even worse, and his low-grade fever hasn't subsided either. Some people said it might be tuberculous meningitis. What are the symptoms of tuberculous meningitis? Will there be any aftereffects if it is cured?Doctor's answer:
This situation may be caused by recurrent disturbances in cerebrospinal fluid circulation. Additionally, if the headache recurs, the primary consideration may still be vascular abnormalities or hypertension. Of course, viral infections may also occur, with nausea, vomiting, and fever typically recurring. It is recommended to conduct multiple careful examinations of the medical history, CT scans, and cerebrospinal fluid to confirm the specific cause and actively pursue antibiotic treatment. All aspects of the diet should be adjusted to a lighter and more balanced approach.
