Patient's question:
Recently, my son has been unable to lift his head up and his hands also can't be lifted. His spirits are particularly weak, and sometimes when he eats, he vomits. He keeps telling me his head hurts a lot. I took my son to the hospital, and after a thorough examination, the doctor diagnosed it as encephalitis. I don't know if my son has been infected. Hello, doctor. Is it possible that my child has encephalitis?Doctor's answer:
There are several causes that can lead to childhood encephalitis, such as bacterial infection, viral infection, or tuberculosis, among others. It may be caused by infection. To further diagnose encephalitis, it is recommended to improve lumbar puncture cerebrospinal fluid examination, cranial CT, magnetic resonance imaging, and other related tests for careful examination. First, identify the cause, then provide symptomatic treatment accordingly. If necessary, undergo anti-infection and dehydration to reduce intracranial pressure treatment.
