Is a viral encephalitis serious?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. Is viral encephalitis serious?

Doctor's answer:

If the patient's current condition has already been diagnosed with viral encephalitis, this situation requires the use of antiviral medications and drugs that reduce intracranial pressure to treat the brain cells. The specific situation requires thorough examinations such as blood tests and electroencephalograms to be conducted in the neurology department of a regular hospital. Please have the doctor determine the cause and follow the doctor's medication instructions. It is more likely caused by factors such as colds, exposure to cold, training stress, or an increase in resistance.
