A doctor has provided 1 answer

Headaches: The predominant headache accompanying encephalitis is a feeling of pressure either pushing out from the brain or as pressure pushing in on the skull. There may be sensitivity to light. The headaches will generally be worse when you are in bed, rather than upright.
