Patient's question:
How is tuberculous meningitis treated?Doctor's answer:
For tuberculous meningitis, it is necessary to use anti-tuberculosis medication for treatment. Generally, the treatment effect of tuberculous meningitis is not very good because anti-tuberculosis medication does not work well through the intracranial barrier. Therefore, first, anti-tuberculosis medication should be used according to the rules, long-term, and a joint anti-tuberculosis treatment approach should be adopted for tuberculous meningitis. In such cases, it is necessary to wait and see and conduct irregular follow-up tests for the condition of the meningitis. In terms of diet, it is important to enhance nutrition, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. It is necessary to develop good habits and avoid smoking and drinking beer.
