How is childhood encephalitis treated?

Patient's question:

A 11-year-old child suddenly developed encephalitis at the end of May this year and has been in a coma since June 2nd. The child has lost control of urination and defecation, cannot eat, and cannot speak. Currently, there is an urgent need for a wake-up drug.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, if it's mild, it's usually fine without any aftereffects. For severe cases, it's hard to say, and some may have aftereffects. It's recommended to actively treat it with antiviral and antibiotic therapies. If intracranial pressure is high, use mannitol and combine it with brain cell nutrition therapy.
