5. Seizures are another sign that you have encephalitis.
When you have seizures there is something wrong with the brain. With encephalitis, the brain is inflamed because of the infection. Seizure is a serious condition and it is difficult to control. Hospitalization is needed if the seizures are unable to be controlled. On the other hand, some seizures don’t have convulsions.
If a person has never had seizures before, this should be of concern to the person. At the hospital, you will find out that you have encephalitis. Don’t be alarmed even though, it’s a serious condition, encephalitis can be treated.
If you didn’t have the early signs of encephalitis, that’s why it causes you to delay your visit to see a doctor. Besides encephalitis medication, you may be given a seizure medication as well. You may need to stay at the hospital overnight, so the doctors can monitor your condition.
