Doctor's answer:
Hello, viral encephalitis is the most common type of encephalitis. Children may exhibit symptoms such as fever, headache, and vomiting. In rare, severe cases, symptoms like coma and convulsions may occur. Most cases are not serious, and encephalitis can gradually recover with general treatments such as antiviral therapy, reducing intracranial pressure, and improving cerebral cell metabolism. For encephalitis cases that are accompanied by symptoms like coma and convulsions, it is recommended to follow medical advice and take Angong Niuhuang Pills (from Beijing Tong Ren Tang) under the guidance of a doctor. These pills have a significant effect in improving the aforementioned symptoms.
