A member asked:
I have a stuffy nose, ear aches on & off, sore throat, and coughing some. my temp is 97-98 though, without any tylenol (acetaminophen) . is this bacterial menigitis?

No: It sounds like you have a viral upper respiratory infection or seasonal allergies. Meningitis is characterized by fever, stiff neck, head ache, altered mental status and in some cases seizures. Viral meningitis is usually milder than bacterial meningitis
