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. How is pediatric encephalitis diagnosed?Doctor's answer:
The common cause of encephalitis in children is due to the transmission of microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. It may be triggered by factors like colds, lowered body resistance, and other reasons. In this case, it is generally necessary to visit a formal hospital's neurology department to undergo blood tests, as well as careful examinations such as an electroencephalogram (EEG). If necessary, a cerebrospinal fluid examination may also be required. Please consult the attending physician of the child based on the examination results. As for the possibility of causing cerebral palsy, it should be very small.
