Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
When Do Mobility And Speech Regain After Suffering From Encephalitis?
My mother was hospitalized for herpes viral encephalitis for a month (was on acyclovir inj and antiseizure medication). She is discharged from hospital around 2 weeks back. Currently she is not able to speak properly or walk (Though mobility and speech has improved from what it was earlier). She is also also attended by physiotherapist everyday to improve mobility. She is on fluids and most times she vomits out. she is also currently on antiseizure medicine. She can remember 90-95%of the things. Her head sometimes shakes left and right. Could someone possibly tell what time it may take to improve mobility and speech. What care need to be taken to improve her faster. What diet should be given to her as she sometimes vomits out. Due to constant bed rest and sleep she could not sleep well too at night.
After an episode of viral emcephalitis, recovery of speech and mobility depends upon the initial brain damage. Most patients regain full function during 1st 6 month. After that chances of recovery are low. You should give her a nutritious diet and there are no restrictions.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
