Due to their own physical development, some babies may suddenly develop encephalitis at a young age. The onset of encephalitis is usually very sudden and can easily lead to accidents. Therefore, if symptoms of encephalitis occur, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination to see if their baby has encephalitis. So, what are the symptoms of encephalitis in babies?
1. People of different genders and age groups may suffer from encephalitis, which is mostly an acute or subacute disease. Its main symptoms include fever, headache, vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, coma, etc. If you find that your baby has sudden fever, headache, vomiting, you must go to the hospital for examination. You can ask the doctor to do a meningeal irritation test. If the test is negative, your baby has a common cold, while if it is positive, it is encephalitis. You should pay attention and receive treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
2. During treatment, attention should be paid to keeping the baby warm during the rising stage of body temperature. During the sustained fever stage, antipyretic drugs can be used, and the baby should drink more hot water. When the baby's fever subsides, attention should be paid to changing clothes that are wet from sweat and keeping the baby warm.
3. In normal times, it is important to pay attention to preventing babies from developing encephalitis. You can encourage babies to pay attention to oral hygiene, use baby specific toothbrushes and toothpaste to clean their mouths, and ensure proper skin hygiene.
