Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Some degree of headache and fatigue are commonly seen for first month in TB meningitis patients.
So he can definitely take aspirin for headache.
In my opinion, you should discuss about adding streptomycin along with AKT 4 for faster recovery.
Streptomycin is having highest brain penetration and hence should be started in all TB meningitis patients.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your brother. Thanks.
