What medicine should be used for a child with encephalitis?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello,
If it is viral encephalitis, active treatment is generally fine for mild cases without sequelae. Severe cases are unpredictable, and some may have sequelae. It is recommended to actively treat with antiviral and antibiotic therapies. If intracranial pressure is high, use mannitol and combine it with brain cell nutrition therapy.
