1. Remedies for Bacterial Meningitis

2. Since bacterial meningitis concerns the
patient’s brain, an urgent medical remedy
is required before the condition worsens
and leads to much dangerous conditions
or even death.
Meningitis is a medical concern wherein
the protective tissue surrounding the brain
swells or is inflamed due to virus,
bacterial, or other types of infections.

3.  Initial symptoms of this condition are
common and might eventually be
neglected by the patient’s immediate
family members; these include headaches,
stiff neck, fever, nausea and/or vomiting,
stomach or muscular pains, rapid or
difficulty in breathing, etc.
Due to these common signs and
symptoms, it is always a must for the
patient to be diagnosed and checked by a
doctor.

4. Doctors will generally suggest the
following immediate remedies or
medications for bacterial meningitis:
Antibiotics. Since the medical condition is
caused by bacterial infection, it should
primarily be treated with antibiotics or
anti-bacterial drugs. And because of the
nature of the disease to spread or worsen
in just a short period of time, antibiotics
should be intravenous or directly injected
to the patient’s bloodstream.

5. Dependent on the type of infecting
bacteria and severity of the condition, the
doctor may induce a certain type of
antibiotic or a combination of one or two
variants. Inducing a combination of
antibiotics also translates to a general
treatment while the physician determines
whether the condition is really bacterial
meningitis or a viral one.

6. Corticosteroid. Another medical objective
concerning bacterial meningitis is to
contain the infection or reduce and avoid
any further complication.
This may be done by giving the patient
dose of corticosteroid or dexamethasone.

7. Complementary Medications.
Complementary medications are essential
not only for the patient but his or her
family members as well.
To keep family member from contracting
the infection, refampin is given to them.
And when the unexpected seizure happens
to the patient, diazepam or phenytoin is
administered to him or her.

8. Alternative remedies for bacterial
meningitis
Though alternative remedies for bacterial
meningitis aid in the alleviation of
symptoms and corresponding
complications, majority of these
alternatives primarily target the
improvement of the patient’s immune
system and all other natural body
defenses.

9. Alternative remedies, come in the form of
herbal medications, vitamins, minerals, or
nutritional supplements.
Nonetheless, these complementary
remedies help in improving the patient’s
overall health.

10. Among the essential vitamins for this
condition are those intended to be used as
antioxidants, vitamins A, C, E, D, and the
B vitamins.
Mineral supplements of magnesium, zinc,
calcium, and selenium are also of equal
importance.

11. Recommended supplements include daily
intake of omega3 fatty acids, coenzyme
Q10 or CoQ10, probiotics, alpha-lipoic acid
(ALA) or the good cholesterol (since the
brain is made up of fats), and resveratrol.

12. For the herbal medicines, extracts of cat’s
claw, Reishi mushroom, olive leaf, aged
garlic, and chlorella have also been
observed and proven to help aid in cases
of bacterial meningitis.
