Viral meningitis can cause recurrent severe headaches during the recovery phase.You should go in for a lumbar puncture to determine whether the CSF has indeed returned to normal .Treatment of postmeningitis headache is the same as treatment of any other chronic daily headaches.You should go in for a second opinion.
