How is cerebral hydatidosis treated?

Brain echinococcosis can be improved through daily care, physical therapy, medication, and surgical treatment to avoid unnecessary damage to the body.

1. Daily Care:

Daily protective measures should be taken to avoid staying up late for long hours. Spicy foods such as chili peppers and ginger should also be avoided, as they may lead to local vasodilation and symptoms of dizziness and headache.

2. Physical Therapy:

If headache symptoms occur, they can be relieved through massage to promote blood circulation. If the axillary temperature does not exceed 38.5°C, a warm water wipe can be used to achieve physical cooling.

3. Medication:

Patients can use albendazole tablets, ivermectin tablets, and praziquantel tablets under the guidance of a doctor to kill parasites and reduce damage to brain tissue. If the axillary temperature exceeds 38.5°C, ibuprofen suspension, acetaminophen granules, and nimesulide granules can be prescribed to relieve fever and pain.

4. Surgical Treatment:

If medication is ineffective or the condition continues to develop, forming a cyst, patients can undergo internal cyst removal surgery or cystectomy to improve the disease. In daily life, one should always be aware of changes in the body and promptly seek standardized treatment for any significant discomfort.
