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. How should I take care of myself after being discharged from viral encephalitis?Doctor's answer:
If the patient's condition has returned to normal after a follow-up examination upon discharge, this situation is generally considered to be not a major issue. After discharge, it is recommended that the patient still try to rest as much as possible for a period of time, maintain a lighter diet, and minimize mental exertion. Regarding viral encephalitis, it generally requires the use of many antiviral medications, drugs to nourish brain cells, as well as a variety of symptomatic treatments such as those to reduce intracranial pressure for treatment.
