Can adults still get meningitis?

I had heard before that someone’s baby had meningitis and knew it was a serious disease. I accidentally heard that a colleague's friend had meningitis. This is strange. I always thought that children with poor immunity would get this disease. Could it be that there was something wrong with his friend's examination? Then, can adults get meningitis? Now let’s ask the experts to answer your questions. I hope this can help everyone.

Adults may also suffer from meningitis, which is a very serious infectious disease. Clinically, it can be divided into purulent, tuberculous, viral and other types of meningitis according to the type of infecting bacteria. Severe cases may be life-threatening. This requires identifying the type of infecting bacteria and conducting corresponding anti-infection treatment, strengthening symptomatic and supportive treatment, and preventing and treating complications. Only such comprehensive treatment can improve the condition. In the later stage, rehabilitation treatment is mainly used to reduce the impact of sequelae. Meningitis can cause symptoms such as increased intracranial pressure, papilledema, bulging eyes, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and fever.

Meningitis is an infection of the delicate membranes between the brain and the brain called meninges. The disease is often complicated by a bacterial or viral infection of any part of the body, such as an ear, sinus, or upper respiratory tract infection. Bacterial meningitis is a particularly serious illness that requires prompt treatment. If not treated promptly, death or permanent mental damage may occur within hours. Viral meningitis is more serious, but most people recover fully without sequelae. Bacterial meningitis is a life-threatening illness and should be treated immediately. Go to the emergency room immediately if symptoms occur. Conventional treatment If you have meningitis, you should go to the hospital for treatment until the infection is completely eradicated, which takes about 2 weeks. Your doctor may recommend acupuncture and acupressure, or combine it with Chinese herbal medicine to boost your immunity.

In order to deal with colds, many people abuse medication to increase blood supply to the brain, forcing blood vessels to dilate to relieve headaches. This then opens the blood-brain barrier, facilitating the invasion of pathogens and posing a risk of meningitis.

Patients should eat less sugar and it is best not to eat processed food. It is cleaner and more hygienic to cook by yourself. Eat more foods containing vitamins, such as vitamin A and vitamin B. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is also more effective. You can let a masseur help restore physical strength, strengthen exercise, enhance resistance, and prevent recurrence next time.
