What Is a Brain Infection?
10. Treatment
The treatment for a brain infection will rely on a number of factors. In many cases, the condition is not likely to be dangerous and the patient might simply be asked to get lots of rest, and drink plenty of fluids. Medication may also be prescribed to help ease the patient’s symptoms.
In other cases, antiviral medications or antibiotics may be used. Anti-inflammatories and anti-seizure medications may also be provided. Some patients will need to be put on a ventilator to help them breathe and, in the terminal cases, the patient will be treated to help make them as comfortable as possible.
