Hi,
My mom is 52 years old. On her latest MRI scan, it was seen that there were viruses in her brain. Her brain is also swelling. She is on a feeding tube. Sometimes she has fever, but it is not very high (around 37.5-37.8 degree Celsius). She is currently taking Aciclovir. She can neither talk nor is aware of her surroundings. Can Aciclovir kill all the brain viruses? Or is there any other way to get rid of the brain viruses? How can the brain swelling be treated? If the brain swelling is treated, can she regain conciousness again? How long does it take typically to recover? Thank you for your time.
