Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended going to the neurology department for a check-up. What is the first choice of medicine for treating meningitis?Doctor's answer:
For patients with meningitis, the first step is to identify the causative pathogen. It is commonly caused by microbial infections such as bacteria and viruses. Additionally, apart from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the treatment for infections caused by different pathogens varies. Therefore, this issue requires careful consultation with the patient's attending physician based on blood test results, including C-reactive protein, EEG, and other thorough examination findings. Treatment should be administered according to the doctor's advice.
