How can one cure meningitis?

I was just diagnosed with viral meningitis, and the doctors are saying that I can't use antibiotics because they're not effective in these cases. How can I cure meningitis? Is there a cure?

Yes you body will fight off the infection. In rare cases there are antivirals that are needed
Our immune system is well equipped to react to viral infections, so supportive care with iv fluids, correction of electrolyte abnormality and rehab is often helpful.
