Suggest Treatment For Meningitis

A friend went to the emergency room this past Monday morning with severe flu-like symptoms. On Thursday, she was diagnosed with meningitis. On Friday afternoon, it was determined to be viral, and she was rereleased with instructions to stay home and rest for 1 week. Yesterday she was beginning to feel better, but is not feeling as well today as yesterday. Is this fall back today a normal part of the recovery process, or Is it a sign of a possible relapse? Should she perhaps be gotten back to the hospitals? Thanks for your time.

Hello
As you mentioned that your friend is having meningitis ( virus , causative organism ) .
Doctor discharged your patient from hospital because this is self limiting due to antigen antibodies ( may be the the type of such virus , that's why patient discharged ).
So this tiredness is a in recovery phase , if fever is not present then , need not to worry .
So be careful, take care good nourished diet as well complete rest but remain contact with doctor.
