A member asked:
Is your brain or the muscles/tissues around it more sensitive and prone to headaches for a while after recovering from meningitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The meninges of the brain which are inflamed during meningitis are a source of many pain endings and one could be more prone to headaches while healing from meningitis. You should check in with your doctor to ensure proper healing.
