Patient's question:
I recently don't know what happened, my body was found to have viral meningitis. I understood the need for surgery and treatment, and I am currently resting. However, various problems have occurred multiple times. I feel very frustrated because I don't understand this at all. I would like to ask the experts about viral meningitis—during the recovery period, many situations have appeared, such as symptoms of an outbreak. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to actively treat viral encephalitis. In most cases, surgery is not required. During the acute phase, antiviral medication is typically needed to prevent increased intracranial pressure. It is crucial to rest in bed to reduce immunity and actively provide symptomatic treatment. The treatment plan can be determined based on the severity of the condition. Hospitalization is necessary. Since viral encephalitis can easily lead to increased intracranial pressure, early treatment with corticosteroids in combination with other therapies is recommended.
