Patient's question:
I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with cerebellitis. After discharge, my EEG has been abnormal. What measures should be taken for its prognosis?Onset and duration of this illness: Everything is normal now. It has been a year, and the EEG still shows mild abnormalities.
Current general condition: There are no symptoms, but the EEG shows abnormalities.
Doctor's answer:
Viral encephalitis is a highly seasonal condition. Generally, the cause of brain diseases is due to a cold history in the past few days, with some being caused by mumps infection. Common symptoms include headache, vomiting, fever, and mental decline. The younger the child, the more severe the condition. Auxiliary tests include abnormal activity on an electroencephalogram. Doctors usually recommend a lumbar puncture. However, if you have a mild illness, you can do this. Treatment options: If the headache symptoms are significant, dehydration will be used to reduce intracranial pressure, and antiviral fluid therapy will be administered. Generally, a follow-up electroencephalogram is conducted after 7-10 days, and the patient is discharged home.
