Q - What complications from viral meningitis can occur?

A - Generally speaking, complications from viral meningitis rarely occur. In fact, most cases of viral meningitis resolve on their own without any treatment.

However, it is almost impossible to know whether a particular patient has bacterial or viral meningitis without performing tests so anyone who has symptoms that suggest meningitis is advised to seek medical help immediately. Better safe than sorry.
