Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Is neonatal encephalitis serious?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal encephalitis is one of the most severe infectious diseases. First, it is necessary to diagnose which type of infection it is. If it is a common viral infection, treatment is relatively easy. However, if it is Japanese encephalitis, the treatment is very difficult, and it is also easy to leave behind various sequelae, which can affect survival in the later stages. It is essential to provide treatment as soon as this disease is detected, and in daily life, attention should be paid to a balanced nutritional intake for the child.
