Meningitis is a serious medical condition and I will advise her to go to the hospital
You should make sure that your Aunt has been seen by an infectious disease specialist and by a neurologist. If the doctors think she might have a treatable pathogen causing meningitis empirical therapy should be started pending diagnostic studies.
