How to treat viral encephalitis in a 1.5-year-old baby

Patient's question:

At half a year, my niece is also half a year old. Recently, she contracted viral encephalitis and has already stopped medication today. She is undergoing brain nutrition therapy. Brain and CT scans have not yet been performed, and I am very anxious. Please ask if there are any other methods for early treatment to prevent leaving behind sequelae.

Doctor's answer:

How can viral encephalitis be prevented? Viral encephalitis is transmitted by mosquitoes. Eliminating mosquitoes is the most fundamental and effective way to prevent viral encephalitis. In addition to eliminating mosquitoes, it is also important to prevent mosquito bites. For example, install mosquito nets or screens. When sleeping, you can hang mosquito nets or light mosquito coils. Additionally, during periods of viral encephalitis outbreaks, it is best not to let children sleep outside in the dark to reduce the chance of transmission.
