Patient's question:
Today I've been vomiting and having a headache, wondering if I might have encephalitis? Does encephalitis cause persistent vomiting?Doctor's answer:
Encephalitis, in addition to the symptom of nausea, may also include severe headaches, fever, etc. Before the onset, there is usually an upper respiratory infection or other infectious symptoms. During the physical examination, doctors may observe pathological signs of the nervous system, such as nuchal rigidity and meningeal irritation. If you only have symptoms like dizziness and nausea, you should first consider whether it is caused by cervical spondylosis or a cold. Regardless of the cause, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination as soon as possible.
