Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Could you please tell me what are the early symptoms of meningitis?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of meningitis indeed include headache and fever, but it cannot be confirmed as meningitis solely based on the symptoms. It is advisable to promptly visit a hospital for a brain CT scan or lumbar puncture to determine whether it is indeed meningitis. It is essential to pay attention to avoiding spicy and greasy foods in daily life, as they may otherwise exacerbate meningitis. Penicillin-class drugs can be used to effectively penetrate the meninges to treat inflammation.
