4. Fever is a sign you have encephalitis.
The fever occurs because you have an infection to the brain. The brain is inflamed and the only way to lower your fever is to get an ice pack and place it on your forehead until you receive medical treatment. With a fever, you’ll feel sick to do anything. If you happen to get out of bed, you may feel dizzy because of having the fever.
Wherever you decide to go for medical treatment, let someone take you. You are in no condition to drive yourself to a medical facility. It may feel like days to be seen by a medical professional since you have a fever.
You may even be dehydrated, so you may not be able to leave until you are hydrated. This is usually done at the hospital. Medication will need to be filled once you leave the medical facility.
