Specializes in Infectious Disease

See PCP: You have an upper respiratory tract infection, but fever, headache and stiff neck requires immediate attention by the physician to rule out meningitis, I would advice to see your doctor as soon as possible. Other conditions can cause stiff neck too that need to be check by MD.
