What are the treatments and dangers of the sequelae of neonatal encephalitis?

Japanese encephalitis, a sequela of encephalitis, is an acute infectious disease caused by the virus, which mainly invades the central nervous system. So what are the treatments for the sequelae of encephalitis? What are the dangers of sequelae of encephalitis?

The treatment of sequelae of viral encephalitis mainly includes the following aspects:

1. Drugs that promote nerve cell regeneration: For example, 10 to 30 ml of cerebrolysin is dissolved in 250 ml of normal saline and slowly injected intravenously once a day for 10 to 20 days as a course of treatment.

2. Drugs to restore normal cell function: such as 0.75 g of citicoline dissolved in 5% glucose solution or 250-500 ml of normal saline, administered intravenously once a day, or 0.25 g injected into the spinal canal.

3. Drugs that improve the brain cell environment: For example, nimodipine can dilate cerebral blood vessels, improve cerebral blood supply, and facilitate the delivery of various nutrients to brain cells. Generally, 1 mg is given intravenously continuously within 1 hour at the beginning of treatment. If the patient can tolerate it, the dose is increased to 2 mg per hour after 1 hour. The total daily dose is 24 to 48 mg, and one course of treatment is 7 to 14 days. In addition, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be used to improve oxygen supply to brain cells.

4. Physical therapy.

5. Rehabilitation treatment: Acupuncture and limb function exercises can be used to promote the recovery of limb function.

6. Traditional Chinese medicine: For example, Xingnaojing can invigorate the brain, promote qi and blood circulation, cool blood and detoxify, and is effective for the sequelae of encephalitis and cerebrovascular disease. Generally, 10 to 20 ml is dissolved in 25% to 10% glucose or 250 to 500 ml of normal saline and administered intravenously once a day.

The dangers of sequelae of encephalitis

Hazard 1. The sequelae of viral encephalitis is epilepsy. Epilepsy, commonly known as epilepsy, is a brain dysfunction caused by sudden and short-term excessive discharge of brain cells. The symptoms of sequelae of viral encephalitis manifest as different disorders of movement, sensation, consciousness, autonomic nervous system, and spirit, or they may all exist in combination.

Hazard 2: Clinical manifestations include sudden loss of consciousness, sudden fall, convulsions of limbs, foaming at the mouth or strange noises, and waking up like a normal person. Due to the different types of viruses, the manifestations of encephalitis are also varied. The severity of viral encephalitis varies greatly. Some people have high fever that does not go away, while others only have low fever. There are usually varying degrees of headaches, vomiting, poor mental complexion, drowsiness and excessive sleep. In severe cases, symptoms may include convulsions, coma, limb paralysis, and irregular breathing rhythm.

Hazard three: The sequelae of encephalitis develop suddenly, progress rapidly, and have high disability and mortality rates. Only by understanding this disease can further rescue be implemented. Because the sequelae of encephalitis are extremely harmful, timely treatment is very important for patients suffering from the sequelae of encephalitis.
