It depends.: There are many different causes of encephalitis; some of these causes have specific treatment and others don't. For anyone with encephalitis, circulatory, respiratory, and nutritional support is vital.

Before coma: Patients with the most common cause of sporadic encephalitis do best if treated with a specific antiviral agent called Acyclovir before they lapse into unconsciousness. Other form of encephalitis do not have specific treatment and treatment is mostly supportive.
