Suggest Treatment For Viral Meningitis

Hello,

I contracted viral meningitis a year ago in Iraq. I'm back state-side now, and it feels as though I am experiencing exactly the same thing: sensitivity to light, moderate to severe headache and pain in my neck that limits my range of motion and then general nausea. Am I being paranoid, or is it possible to have contracted this two times in less than a year? It feels exactly the same.

I am a very cleanly person, and I would prefer to forego another spinal tap. Just curious, thanks.

Hello,

Welcome to healthcaremagic.com!

I really appreciate your concern. It is possible to have viral meningitis twice in a year. So if you feel above mentioned symptoms then you should consult a local doctor for further management. Sometimes viral meningitis leads to very serious conditions. Better to have check for it.

Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.

Thank you.

Best Regards.
Dr. Manan
