Patient's question:
A one-month-old baby suddenly vomits everything he eats. After drinking milk, it sprays out directly. The hospital drew blood and said it was caused by a virus. They prescribed medicine and gave an injection, but he still vomited. As soon as he ate something, he immediately vomited it out.Doctor's answer:
Viral encephalitis lacks specific treatment. However, due to its self-limiting nature, proper encouragement and symptomatic treatment during the acute phase are key to ensuring a smooth and complete recovery, reducing mortality and disability rates. Western medicine generally yields good results for this condition, with most cases resolving on their own within 1 to 2 weeks without leaving any sequelae. In rare cases, recurrent episodes can lead to chronic and difficult-to-heal conditions. Traditional Chinese medicine also shows relatively good efficacy and is less prone to recurrence.
