Homeopathic remedy for meningitis

Meningitis

Meningitis is the medical term for the inflammation of the membranes, also called meninges, and cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds the brain. This disease is caused by spreading of an infection and the most common symptoms are headache, a rigid neck and fever. Furthermore, nausea, vomiting and confusion may also appear, but seizures, loss of appetite, and insomnia are also some of the signs of meningitis.

If a person notices some of the symptoms, it is important to go and see a doctor, in order to treat meningitis on time, and thus prevent possible complications. Meningitis is usually caused by a virus, but there are also some cases in which meningitis resulted from bacterial or fungal infection. Furthermore, it can be also caused by an injury or trauma, or it can appear as a result of the reaction to a drug or allergy.
