How to Treat Mosquito-Borne Viral Encephalitis
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. There is no drug to treat mosquito-borne viral encephalitis. Instead, doctors usually prescribe supportive care, which means treating the symptoms while the immune system fights the disease. Supportive treatment options may include:
- Intravenous fluids
- A respirator to help with breathing
- Anticonvulsants to treat seizures
- Sedatives to treat restlessness
- Pain relievers to treat headache and fever
- Corticosteroids (anti-inflammatory drugs) to reduce brain swelling
