Patient's question:
The baby experienced headaches again in the recent period. She was taken to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor diagnosed it as mild encephalitis, which has now been cured. I would like to ask if mild encephalitis can cause sequelae?Doctor's answer:
Mild encephalitis usually has no aftereffects. Currently, the most common types of encephalitis include viral encephalitis, bacterial encephalitis, tuberculous encephalitis, and Cryptococcal meningitis. Most of these encephalitides are curable diseases, so mild encephalitis will not have aftereffects. Of course, it is also necessary to pay attention to excluding special cases. There is a contagious form of encephalitis, such as Japanese encephalitis, which is more common in children and more common in summer. In this case, it is recommended that patients actively seek treatment according to the doctor's advice. In cases of encephalitis and colds, due to bacterial and viral infections, the patient's resistance may increase. The majority of them need to be treated with antibiotics, drugs to warm brain cells, and many symptomatic drugs.
