Question
A 2-month-old newborn has congenital heart disease and encephalitis caused by infection. What impact does this have on the child? Is this encephalitis likely to leave sequelae? Currently undergoing treatment. Moreover, why is the child’s body temperature consistently between 37℃-37.5℃?
Answer
The impact of encephalitis caused by infection in newborns can vary depending on the situation and may have certain effects. Encephalitis is prone to leave sequelae, but the specific situation depends on the severity of the infection, the treatment, and recovery conditions. Currently undergoing treatment is the correct approach, as appropriate treatment and care can improve the chances of recovery. The child’s body temperature consistently remains between 37℃-37.5℃, which may be due to the inflammatory response caused by the infection.
