I am a 34 year old male who was diagnosed with viral meningitis. What are the treatment options for viral meningitis?
There is no specific treatment for viral meningitis. Most people with viral meningitis recover completely in 7 to 10 days. The drug of choice for viral meningitis are acyclovir, valaciclovir, and famciclovir. The treatment for meningitis is given into a vein, as well as fluids to prevent dehydration and oxygen through a face mask. Thank you.
There are many options. Discussing this with your doctor will help you.
