The treatment of acute toxic encephalitis depends on the specific condition of the patient. For bacterial toxic encephalitis, sensitive antibiotics should be used first; if caused by a virus, antiviral therapy is required, and bed rest is essential. Second, it is important to control intracranial pressure, as high pressure may lead to brain herniation and potentially life-threatening complications.
