What can i do for short and long-term management of meningitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Short-term only: There is no "long-term management" of meningitis. Meningitis is an acute infection that requires immediate therapy with the appropriate antibiotics. If you don't treat it in the short-term, there may be no "long-term"!
