What Is The Treatment For Headache Caused Due To Encephalitis?
Hi. My wife recently was diagnosed with encephalitis, sore neck and very bad headaches. After 2 weeks, strong pain killers, anti biotics, immune system vitamins and quarta zone. The headaches went while she was on this medication. As soon as she came off the medication, the headaches are now back, no sore neck however. She visited her Gp this morning and he has now recommended she see a neurologist. Please help! The pain is severe and all this is getting very costly!
