A member asked:

I had a concussion in april, was hospitalised. but feeling terrible the last few days, can it be meningitis due to the previous injury?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: You get meningitis from germs not simple head trauma. Some people do experience recurrent headaches related to past trauma. If this is interfering with how you get through your day get in for an evaluation.
