Children’s encephalitis may develop epilepsy when it gets well, and some children may also have sequelae such as facial nerve paralysis and limb paralysis.
Children’s encephalitis is related to bacterial, viral and fungal infections, and is easily accompanied by fever, convulsions and impaired consciousness. Clinical findings show that some children with severe and diffuse brain lesions may suffer from different degrees of sequelae after the encephalitis has resolved, including epilepsy, facial nerve paralysis, limb paralysis, hydrocephalus, mental retardation, and uremia.
In addition to the more serious sequelae mentioned above, some children with encephalitis are also susceptible to sequelae such as strabismus, mild mental and behavioral disorders, and endocrine disorders, which can reduce the quality of life of the children. If children with encephalitis are not treated in time, subdural effusion, ventricular meningitis, parenchymal damage and cerebral hemorrhage may occur.
It is recommended that children diagnosed with encephalitis actively cooperate with doctors in treatment, and parents should do a good job of comforting children to build up their confidence in overcoming the disease. Pay attention to children’s daily care, and avoid forcible pressure on the limbs during seizures.
