Early symptoms of viral encephalitis in adults include high fever, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, and generalized weakness. As the condition progresses, seizures, convulsions, hemiplegia, ophthalmoplegia, memory loss, and呆滞 expression may develop. Once the above symptoms appear, it is essential to seek prompt medical attention at a hospital. The doctor will perform a thorough examination and then formulate an appropriate treatment plan.
