physiotherapy and occupational therapy

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
It's very disturbing to know that your child is suffering from viral encephalopathy and demylination.
Unfortunately there is no medicine which can be of help for her except anti seizure medicines.
But do not lose hope..
Physiotherapy and occupational therapy can help in neurological recovery.
It is difficult to predict how much she will improve, but don't lose hope.
There are many kids , though small percentage, who have recovered atleast 50 percent from such illness.

Wishing her good recovery
Regards
