What are the treatments for meningitis?

IV: IV antibiotics and acyclovir depending on your age. Sometimes JV steroids are used prior to antibiotics is certain types of meningitis. Hope this helps.

Varies: The initial testing will sometimes point to a suspected cause and treatment would depend on that cause.In the beginning, there is often a "everything" approach where they give IV meds to cover all the worst possible causes before it is known.The treatment is then refined after any confirmatory tests reveal the specific cause.
