[|AI|]  Hello, Your doctor is suspecting that husband is having meningitis. The main treatment of meningitis includes higher generation antibiotic which are effective against the cocci N.meningitis. Third generation cephalosporins like ceftriaxone, cefuroxime are main stay of treatment these days. If treatment is given properly and with susceptible antibiotics used and if there is no deterioration of nervous functions then prognosis is not bad these days. Hope this is helpful. Thank you.
