How long does encephalitis in premature infants take to relieve?

Patient's question:

My sister was only 7 months pregnant when she accidentally fell and started bleeding. She quickly went to the hospital, and the doctor said she needed to have a cesarean section immediately. The baby was born just moments later and was diagnosed with encephalitis. My sister cried uncontrollably. Could you please tell me how long it takes for encephalitis in premature infants to subside?

Doctor's answer:

One is caused by bacterial infection, and the other is caused by viral infection. Whether it is caused by bacterial infection or viral infection, as long as timely treatment and proper care are provided, the vast majority of children can recover on their own, while a small number of children may have sequelae. Once it is discovered that a premature infant has meningitis, it is necessary to go to a local authoritative and regular specialized hospital for treatment. It is absolutely essential not to delay, and then undergo a comprehensive and thorough examination. After confirming the condition, actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and carefully care for the child.
