A member asked:
I had bacterial meningitis 2.5 years ago. i still feel similar symptoms on a regular basis. can you have ongoing viral meningitis after bacterial?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There may be residual symptoms from scarring in the membranes lining the brain, but it is highly unlikely that you have ongoing viral infection. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine
