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.
