The severity of viral encephalitis depends on the particular virus and how quickly treatment was given. Generally, the acute phase of the illness lasts around one or two weeks, and the symptoms either disappear quickly or subside slowly over a period of time. In many cases, the person makes a full recovery. In mild cases of encephalitis, the inflammation will likely resolve in a few days. For people who have severe cases it may require weeks or months for them to get better. It can sometimes cause permanent brain damage or even death.
How is encephalitis treated?
- rest
- pain killers
- corticosteroids (to reduce brain inflammation)
- mechanical ventilation (to help with breathing)
- lukewarm sponge baths
- anticonvulsants (to prevent or stop seizures)
- sedatives (for restlessness, aggressiveness, and irritability)
- fluids (sometimes through an IV)
