Meningitis Headache is a secondary headache. It is one of the causes of headache, but not all headaches are caused by meningitis. Meningitis is mainly caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, etc. When the disease occurs, patients will show headache and fever, nausea and vomiting, irritability, loss of appetite, sleep disorders, etc. Severe patients will show limb paralysis, seizures, mental decline, and even show coma. Additional tests include cerebrospinal fluid tests, bacterial antigen tests, head CT or MRI scans, etc. Other headaches include migraine, tension headache, traumatic headache, drug-induced headache, headache caused by internal environmental disorders, etc.
