Patient's question:
I mainly just want to understand a few things: How many types of encephalitis do children get? When the child had another cold and cough, the doctor recommended hospitalization for treatment, but the child wasn't that serious. The doctor said they were worried the child might get encephalitis again. How many types of encephalitis do children generally get?Doctor's answer:
Actually, there are quite a few types of encephalitis that can reappear. Once a child experiences a viral infection again, it is important to take them to the hospital for a thorough examination to avoid the possibility of encephalitis. Common types of meningitis include purulent, viral, tuberculous, and fungal meningitis. They all share common symptoms such as fever, headache, nausea, restlessness, convulsions, and confusion. Encephalitis is a serious illness that requires timely treatment.
