Hello,

Fever is a sign of infection and swelling of the brain unfortunately is not a good sign. Usually it is treated in ICU ward with antibiotics and diuretics and other medications. I wish you a fast recovery.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jolanda Nikolla, Pulmonologist
