A member asked:
Would meningitis present with severe headache and neck ache worsening for 6 days, no other symptoms though?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible, not likely: These symptoms would be more typical for meningitis if a fever was also present. Meningitis is not so likely without a fever, especially in a younger person. For someone with immune system suppression, a fever may not occur.
