Patient's question:
The neighbor's old man has encephalitis. I heard that encephalitis can cause epilepsy. How does encephalitis cause epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Encephalitis primarily manifests as high fever, headache, and accompanied by nausea. Generally, timely treatment will never lead to epilepsy. Epilepsy is mainly caused by cerebral neurovascular spasm. For encephalitis, it is recommended to use antibiotics for treatment as soon as possible, while physical cooling methods can also be adopted. Both measures can effectively improve the current condition. It is advised to seek timely treatment, and finally, wish you a speedy recovery.
