Brain Infection Treatment

Self-Care at Home

If you suspect that someone in your household has some kind of brain infection, first, call your doctor or 911 emergency services and follow their advice.

Provide cooling measures and give temperature-lowering medications to reduce fever.
If the person is vomiting, put him or her on their side to prevent them from inhaling and choking on the vomit.
Avoid any strenuous activities, and keep the person on strict bed rest. Always follow the advice of your doctor.
