Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
It would be helpful, if you can upload the reports of your son.
The treatment of meningitis depends on the cause. If it is TB, then, at least 18 months of TB medications are required. For other types of meningitis, shorter duration of treatment would be enough.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
