2. Eat vitamin E-rich foods. There are a group of compounds that are known as Vitamin E and have been found to show antioxidant-like properties. This vitamin is also known as an anti-inflammatory because it has the ability to suppress or inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins, thus lowering your prostaglandin levels. The more omega 3 fatty acids blocking the COX 1 enzyme, the fewer omega 6 fatty acids will be converted to prostaglandins. 2  Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids include: sardines, salmon, soybeans, flax seeds, walnuts, tofu and mackerel.

Viral, or aseptic, meningitis is more common and generally occurs in summer to early autumn. This form is rarely life threatening. It has a similar mode of transmission to the bacterial type. Often, abdominal discomfort, chest pain, or a rash will be present.Most cases of viral meningitis run an uneventful course.Since this is a virus (similar to the common cold), it cannot be treated with antibiotics. 2 Recovery is normally complete, but headaches and drowsiness may be persistent. The classic clinical presentation of acute bacterial meningitis in adults is the triad of fever (greater than 101 degrees), neck stiffness, and an altered mental state, such as confusion or agitation. 2 The absence of all three of these symptoms effectively eliminates bacterial meningitis.
