The doctor saw him two days ago,and told us he has got the Flu, But I am suspecting he has something close to meningitis . What do you think?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of persistent headache and high body temperature while having flu which seems to be viral fever and poor immunity of your body is major cause for your condition. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles. Drink plenty of fluids, have proper rest. You should use anti inflammatory medications such as Levocetirizine along with antibiotic such as Levofloxacin. Avoid exposure to allergens such as dust. Take meftal P for fever. Take diet rich in multivitamins along with vitamin C pellet to booster immunity. You should use mist humidifiers in room. Visit ENT specialist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get examined. Start treatment after prescription. You should take probiotics in diet.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
