Patient's question:
My relative was recently hospitalized due to illness. The cause is viral encephalitis and pneumonia, and the condition is quite serious. The family is very worried and he is still hospitalized. The family hopes he can receive the best treatment possible, but they are now unsure what to do. They suggest asking how to treat viral encephalitis and pneumonia.Doctor's answer:
If the hospital conducts a thorough examination and diagnosis confirms that the condition is caused by a viral infection, it is necessary to use some antiviral medications, traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying, as well as some symptomatic drugs for treatment. Compared to this, viral encephalitis may be more severe and may require the use of drugs that support brain cell nutrition and drugs to reduce intracranial pressure for treatment. It is recommended to follow the doctor's advice on medication and pay close attention to careful observation.
