Is a three-year-old child with a fever suffering from encephalitis?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. By the way, is a fever in a three-year-old a sign of meningitis?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, the symptoms are considered to be possibly due to a central nervous system infection, as there is recurrent fever, consciousness impairment, and convulsions. The child may be experiencing chills, and it is normal for the child to sleep during fever. First, start with antiviral treatment. If the effect is not good, check the cerebrospinal fluid to rule out meningitis. Hello, there are several folk remedies for treating cough using pears, rock sugar, and water. Here are a few methods:
