The brain and Spinal Cord are part of our central nervous system. It controls the maximum functions of our body and mind. It can become a life-threatening condition when the central nervous system of the body has been infected.

However, children are more prone to this critical neurological condition due to their weak immune systems.

In the cases of these infections, you should consult the neurologist immediately to start the treatment. The most common causes behind neurological infection are viruses, bacteria, and fungus.

Treatment of Neurological Infection

Neurologists decide the treatment procedure based on the level of the neurological infection. They check the type and location of the infection while doing the treatment of the patient.

Fungal CNS or bacterial infections treatment includes giving steroids to reduce brain swelling, antibiotics, intravenous (IV) fluids, and anticonvulsants to control seizures. Many infections of these types can resolve without anti-viral treatment.
