Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. Is projectile vomiting a symptom of encephalitis?Doctor's answer:
If the patient does not have other symptoms, we also cannot make a diagnosis in this case. It may also be due to excessive alcohol consumption by the patient, which has caused damage to the gastric mucosa, leading to dry vomiting caused by insufficient gastric motility. If the patient also has symptoms such as fever and headache, this projectile dry vomiting cannot be ruled out as possible encephalitis and requires hospitalization to determine the cause before treatment.
