Thank you for choosing HCM

In meningitis, there will be a lot of disorientation. Since I did not see it in the symptoms you have mentioned, he may not have meningitis. If he is slurring in speech or confused, then rush to the ER immediately. Meningitis is dangerous and needs to be treated quickly.

I believe that your husband had a viral infection when the body was weak. This happens when the immunity is low. In this case, you can try the following:
Drink lots of water to prevent dehydration
Take 2 Paracetamol 500 tablets twice a day
Take 1 Cetirizine 10 mg at night.

Follow up after 3 days.
Hope this helps you
