Patient's question:
Always take deworming medicine irregularly to clean out the worms in your stomach. I want to know if the probability of encephalitis caused by deworming medicine is high or not?Doctor's answer:
It's likely just a side effect of the deworming medication you took. I suggest you check it carefully. Then, take the remaining deworming medication to get tested as well. You can take enteric-coated insecticides orally on a regular basis, and the side effects of this type of medication are relatively low. All medications have side effects. Generally, the risk is relatively small. In China, only drugs that have passed safety testing can be used for clinical diagnosis. If the encephalitis reoccurs, it's necessary to conduct further careful examination to determine how other viruses might directly enter the body and cause infection. Encephalitis is usually caused by viral infections, and medications generally do not cause encephalitis. After the examination, it's important to avoid spicy and greasy foods as much as possible.
