Is encephalitis in children easy to cure?

Many children may have wounds on their heads due to playing and fighting in their daily lives, which will allow bacteria to invade and cause encephalitis over time. Many parents may not be able to discover these things in time when raising their children, so you must treat your child's body in time so that they can recover as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect their intellectual development.

Symptoms of encephalitis in children include fever, tearing, runny nose, red eyes, and fear of light. Examination may reveal small white spots on the cheek mucosa on both sides of the child's mouth, surrounded by redness. This is called measles mucosal plaques.

On the 3rd to 4th day of fever, children develop red rashes, which begin to appear behind the ears and on the face, and gradually spread to the whole body. At this time, the body temperature is higher than before, and there may be vomiting, diarrhea, coughing and other symptoms. 3 to 5 days after the rash appears, the rash on the whole body gradually subsides in the order of the rash, the body temperature drops, and the condition improves. Measles can be accompanied by pneumonia, laryngitis, encephalitis, and can also cause subacute sclerosing panencephalitis.

Generally, children with encephalitis should be hospitalized for treatment. After hospitalization, closely observe changes in consciousness, and pay attention to changes in body temperature, pulse, respiration and blood pressure. Pay attention to pupil size at all times. Once changes occur, symptomatic treatment should be given.

Pay attention to nutrition and calorie supplementation. Comatose patients can be given nasogastric feeding. Those with frequent convulsions should receive intravenous infusion, with the daily fluid volume being 50-0 ml/kg. When using dehydrating agents, pay attention to supplementing potassium salts.

Comatose patients should be turned over frequently to keep their skin clean and dry to prevent bedsores. Keep their mouths clean. Comatose patients who cannot close their eyes should protect their eyes, pay attention to hygiene and protect their corneas. Children with convulsions should be prevented from biting their tongues and from the root of the tongue falling back to block the respiratory tract.

There are many treatments for children's encephalitis. As long as you can treat it in time, the child will definitely recover, so you don't have to worry about it. However, you must pay more attention to the child's upbringing. You can take your child for physical examinations regularly, so that you can understand the child's physical condition in time, which can also make you feel more at ease.
