Patient's question:
My husband is only 32 years old this year. In 2009, he had tuberculous meningitis. At that time, he often had headaches and also vomited. After discharge, his condition improved somewhat, but he still needed medication to relieve symptoms. Now his symptoms have reappeared—headaches and fever. Doctor, in 2009, he had tuberculous meningitis and was discharged after improvement. His symptoms were persistent headaches and constant fever. How can this be relieved?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, such a situation is more likely to be considered due to the possibility of postmeningitis sequelae. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination using cranial magnetic resonance imaging to assess the specific condition. If it is tuberculous, it is best to go to the hospital and use antitubercular drugs such as isoniazid and rifampicin to alleviate the fever symptoms. You can take oral ibuprofen granules to reduce fever. If a headache occurs again, you can take oral medications such as Advil to promote blood circulation.
