Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I visit the neurology department. If tuberculous meningitis causes confusion and severe head pain, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Recurring headaches do not necessarily indicate a recurrence of tuberculous meningitis. If meningitis does recur, it is primarily characterized by persistent and severe headaches, which may also be accompanied by fever and projectile vomiting. If a recurrence of tuberculous meningitis is diagnosed and the aforementioned symptoms are present, timely antitubercular treatment should be administered, along with the use of diuretics to reduce intracranial pressure.
