Friend carefully checked and confirmed that he suffered from tuberculous meningitis, but looking at him, he didn't show any abnormal reactions. What are the symptoms of tuberculous meningitis?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of tuberculous meningitis mainly include patients possibly experiencing low-grade fever and thirst, along with abnormal head pain or recurrent episodes of severe nausea and vomiting.
