The baby suddenly vomits everything it eats. After drinking milk, the milk is spat out immediately. The hospital blood test indicated a viral cause. Medication and injections were administered, but the vomiting continued. The baby vomits immediately after eating anything.

Answer

There is no specific treatment for viral encephalitis. However, due to the self-limiting nature of the disease course, proper encouragement and symptomatic treatment during the acute phase are crucial for ensuring a full and complete recovery, reducing mortality and disability rates. Western medicine generally has better efficacy in treating this condition, with most patients recovering within 1 to 2 weeks without any sequelae. Very few cases may experience recurrent episodes, leading to difficult-to-heal conditions. Traditional Chinese medicine also shows good efficacy and is less likely to cause complications.
