Hello,
The condition which you have mentioned are all possible with your uncle. High doses of medication can cause confused and agitated behaviour. But this is usually short-lived. Meningitis is a possibility if he has continuous fever, headache, neck rigidity. Meningitis can be better detected in MRI of brain and not CT scan. You yourself can read the BRAIN SCAN'S report or ask your doctor to explain you the details.
The treatment for typhoid,malaria and viral fever are all different.
Thanks
