Dr. Yang Jun
After a patient with Japanese encephalitis experiences seizures, promptly lay the patient flat and turn their head to one side to clear secretions from the mouth. If there is no improvement over time, it is advisable to seek treatment at a正规 local hospital. Additionally, during the illness period, sedative medications such as midazolam or phenobarbital may be used under medical guidance. If fever occurs, antipyretic drugs such as acetaminophen may also be administered under a doctor's supervision.
