A member asked:

Supplements to help nerve regeneration do to nerve damage from meningitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Which nerves ?: Most of the time will not be any nerve damage . If there is a degeneration due to any cause central nerves like optic (eye ), auditory (hearing ) olfactory ( smell ) will never regenerate but peripheral nerves ( myelanated ) will regenerate at the rate of 1 mm in every couple of days .
