A patient is admitted to the hospital with a fever and a headache. After workup, viral meningitis is diagnosed. The patient also has asthma with acute exaerbation and hypertension, which both of are treated. My question is would I code the fever and headache? They are symptoms of the viral meningitis which would be the definite diagnosis. Any help would be appreciated.
