    Most people who have a fever do not develop encephalitis. But in some cases, it may be secondary to encephalitis. But the odds are too small.

    Only brain infections are called encephalitis. This phenomenon is not related to the length of the fever, but to the site of infection. Examples include simple lung infections and urinary tract infections.

    Even if it lasts for about a week, it will not cause encephalitis, and it can be done in time.

    Encephalitis is a relatively serious neurological disease, the severity of encephalitis is that it may affect the nervous system of the brain, the nerves of the brain belong to the central nervous system, which will play a very important role in controlling movement and the overall function, if the central nervous system is affected, but it is a very serious problem, so if encephalitis occurs, it needs to be treated in time, and if there is no encephalitis, it is also necessary to pay close attention to prevent encephalitis.

    Encephalitis is usually divided into viral encephalitis and bacterial meningitis, also called purulent encephalitis. In general, there are more cases of purulent meningitis in newborns or young infants, and viral encephalitis is more common in older children, but not the other type will not appear. In terms of severity, the severity of purulent meningitis caused by bacterial infection is more obvious, but no matter what type of encephalitis it is, it is a relatively serious disease and needs to be carried out in time.

    The main symptoms of encephalitis are more typical headache, vomiting, poor spirit, reflux fever, etc., and there may be obvious irritability. However, in some cases, it is possible that such typical symptoms are not very obvious, if the child has repeated fever and illness, after the symptom is treated with drugs, the effect is not good, and the state is getting worse and worse, or some symptoms of encephalitis appear, you need to go to the hospital in time. The diagnosis of encephalitis is mainly based on the need for lumbar puncture examination, after the diagnosis of encephalitis, it is necessary to carry out ** in time, the use of antiviral or anti-infective drugs, with mannitol to reduce intracranial pressure, etc., and the recovery period also needs to use some nutrients and tissue drugs.

    There may be no special targeted drugs for prevention, which can directly prevent encephalitis, but if the child is sick, it needs to be carried out in time, and at the same time, it is also necessary to closely observe the child's state, if the state is getting worse and worse, or there are symptoms similar to encephalitis, there are certain manifestations, it is necessary to consider the possibility of encephalitis, if the possibility of encephalitis is considered, it is necessary to check and confirm the diagnosis in time and in time, do not delay, if delayed, it may lead to aggravation of encephalitis, It is easy to leave sequelae, such as seizures, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, hemiplegia, etc.

    It depends on whether the child's symptoms are consistent with the symptoms of encephalitis. In general, the fever and vomiting caused by encephalitis are mainly projectile vomiting in the relative vomiting state, because it is vomiting caused by increased intracranial pressure, and the vomiting state in other states is not exactly the same, and it will be accompanied by headache, drowsiness, poor mental state, etc., so fever and vomiting must be accompanied by other symptoms, and encephalitis can only be considered if there is a high degree of suspicion. If the predominantly gastrointestinal symptoms are present, the child has nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain or indigestion, and diarrhea is generally considered gastrointestinal problems.

    If there is a response to inflammation and intracranial pressure is high, dehydration is usedDrugs to lower intracranial pressure. If cerebral edema is significant, adrenocorticosteroids are needed. If there is a bacterial infection, antimicrobial susceptibility testing is required to select the susceptible antibiotic based on the results of the susceptibility test**.

    If it is tuberculous, anti-tuberculosis** is required. If Cryptococcus neoformans is detected, antifungal disease is required**.
