Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with a neurology department. Can brain inflammation and damage affect life expectancy?Doctor's answer:
Encephalitis is an inflammatory condition caused by infection. With proper treatment for anti-infection and adequate rest, it will absolutely not affect your lifespan. It is recommended to rest in bed for 14 days, receive regular treatment, and maintain rest around 14 to 21 days to prevent recurrence. If encephalitis is severe, it can affect intellectual development and growth. In severe cases, it may lead to the death of brain cells. I hope my explanation helps you.
