Viruses: Nope. Cephalexin is an antibiotic that would in no way treat a dangerous viral illness. Please get to the doctor's office today urgently.

Viral meningitis: No, Cephalexin will not cure viral meningitis. If you have symptoms of fever, stiff neck, photophobia, see your doctor for evaluation.
