Patient's question:
The doctor and baby have been unsure what's wrong these past few days. He has been experiencing high fever on and off, and even after taking fever-reducing medicine, it hasn't helped. I am very worried. So, we took him to the hospital for a complete blood count, and it was found that his red blood cells and white blood cells were elevated. The doctor diagnosed him with viral meningitis. So, you ask, does viral meningitis have any aftereffects?Doctor's answer:
Viral meningitis, if not treated promptly and gradually, may lead to certain sequelae. If diagnosed with viral meningitis, active treatment is necessary. Oral antiviral medications or injectable antiviral injections can be administered. The treatment typically requires about two weeks to prevent sequelae and minimize the impact on work and daily life. It is advisable to consume more medications and foods that can help boost the immune system.
