What are the current treatments for encephalitis?

Patient's question:

What are the treatment methods for encephalitis?

Doctor's answer:

There is no specific treatment for viral encephalitis. Controlling intracranial hypertension, high fever, and convulsions is particularly important. Patients in a coma need to maintain an open airway. Careful nursing can prevent secondary infections. Cooling methods can also be used, primarily physical cooling, such as using 30% alcohol wipes or cooling beds. This is a symptomatic treatment method. The second method is antiviral treatment. The above are the methods for treating encephalitis. Wishing you good health, thank you!
