No: Tick-borne encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain caused by a virus carried by ticks. Because the condition is caused by a virus, medicines like antibiotics do not work. Treatment involves symptom relief for fever & dehydration. Most patients only experience very early stages of the condition & recover completely. Only 10-20% of patients experience long-term effects afterward.

Yes- yourself: There is no specific drug to treat tbe. It depends on the effectiveness your immune system ito clear the virus infection. Hospitalization and supportive care may be needed, based on the severity of the infection. Anti-inflammatory drugs, intubation and ventilatory support maybe used in specific situations.
