Patient's question:
My daughter is 5 and a half years old. She had an abnormal EEG with focal discharges primarily in the right frontal and left occipital regions, but her MRI was normal. About a month later, the hospital diagnosed her with viral encephalitis. She stayed in the hospital for 12 days. Now she can't even explain what happened anymore.Doctor's answer:
If diagnosed as viral, (it should be encephalitis or meningoencephalitis, not meningitis,) the general infection course will not exceed 15 days, and recovery typically takes about half a year. The main treatment involves antiviral therapy and prevention of bacterial infections. Immunoglobulin has certain antiviral effects and can also be used with An Gong Ni Huang Injection. If enteral feeding is available, An Gong Ni Huang Pills can be used as supplementary treatment.
