A member asked:
Could it be meningitis if i have a bad headache with my flu?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Anything is possible, but this is infrequent. If, however, you have stiff neck, sensitivity to light or sound, nausea and vomiting, alterations in mental status, localized neurological changes, high sustained fevers, see a doctor asap.
