Encephalitis with light to heavy, severe if not treated properly can cause side effects. Generally not a headache. But the other problems. However, encephalitis can be suffering. Why do not relapse? Not necessarily the same as a virus infection. So you still need to do an EEG to see if there are problems. If there are problems must re-treatment. I wish you headaches speedy recovery!
