HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, bacterial meningitis can be cured with the right choice of antibiotic and may not need long term course of antibiotic unless it is tubercular infection, if she is not doing well then differential diagnosis need to be ruled out, better to have a word with treating physician, hope this information helps, take care.
