Suggest Treatment For Bacterial Meningitis

Posted on Wed, 15 Mar 2017

Question: I was admitted to hospital last week and treated initially for bacterial meningitis, following an LP I was diagnosed with meningism. I've felt progressively better for the past few days but have woke this morning with an excruciating headache I can't get rid of with medicine, photophobia again and extreme nausea with no vomiting. It is normal to have a set back like this in recovering?
