A member asked:
If i had meningitis, would tylenol (acetaminophen) take away the pain and stiffness of my neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Meningitis symptoms best evaluated by physician as symptoms can progress rapidly and an agent that causes meningitis may require a definitive treatment. Many common viruses can cause "aseptic" meningitis but early symptoms of a bad meningitis are similar to those not so severe.
