How is the treatment for meningitis?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I visit the neurology department. How is meningitis treated?

Doctor's answer:

If a five-year-old child has a high fever below 39 degrees Celsius, it may lead to meningitis, which is related to the viral cold. Currently, medication needs to be used to reduce the fever. A fever below 38.5 degrees Celsius can be treated with Tylenol oral liquid for the child. Additionally, ice packs can be used for physical cooling. At the same time, it is important to visit the pediatric department of the hospital as soon as possible. If a viral infection is diagnosed, antiviral medication should be used to provide symptomatic treatment and prevent various complications caused by meningitis.
